  1. I want to create a new customevent log ( “My EeventLog”) on a remote machine.

createEventSource(String,String,String) method was perferct for my need.

Unfortenatly, this method is Obsolete.

My questions is: the two other alternatives don’t allow evenlog creation over a remote machine (correct me if I’m wrong).

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.eventlog.createeventsource.aspx

So, my easiest way to do it- is be created a new exe and run it remotely with Psexe. right?

  1. Could I count eventlog entries that have some specific ID ?

Regards,

    According to the ObsoleteAttribute on that type, there is an alternate way:

    This method has been deprecated.
    Please use
    System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource(EventSourceCreationData
    sourceData) instead.
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202

    Use EventLog.CreateEventSource(EventSourceCreationData) and set the EventSourceCreationData.MachineName property to the name of the remote machine.
