Help ! - App move to IIS6 - cannot write to event log!

[Dan Hill]

I've researched like mad and haven't found a real answer to this:

I have a large application, classic ASP and VB6 COM objects that has
been moved from W2K to 2003 server and IIS6. The COM objects write
their errors to the event log (application). Since moving to IIS6 and
2003 - none of the objects write to the event log anymore.

I'm convinced from what I've read so far that it's a permissions
issue...but how do I set permissions to allow my app to write to the
application log??

Any help is much appreciated and I know there's gotta be some guru
reading this that knows (or some unlucky sap like myself that's
already had to research this one!)

Thanks in advance :)

Hi Dan,

does the EventSource already exist?
