Users writing to the event log

[JTC^..^]

I want my application to write errors to the windows event log. If a
user run the application on the server for the first time and they get
an error the application cannot write to the event log. The users run
the application on terminal servers. What is the best practice? How do
I get round this?

You should create the log view separately under an admin account.
Admin privileges are required to do this, and you don't really want
your users running under an admin account. One option would be to
create the log view as part of the application installation.
