    I have a web service that runs on Win2003 under an Application Pool with user identity. If that user is a member of Administrators group, then the web service can write into Event Log. Othwerwise, I get the following error

    System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open log for source {0}. You may not have write access.

    I have seen and read a number of questions in this and other threads. KB Article 329291 does not apply since I already have created the event source (and everything works with Admin group privileges).

    Is there a way simple way to get around this without fiddling with the registry entries using SIDs etc.

    If using SIDs in the registry is the only way, how can I get the SID for that particular user to enter into the registry?

    TIA,

    BMS.
