    IIS does not natively log logons to the Application Log.

    If you change the local security policy (Start -> Run -> secpol.msc) you can
    change the options for Windows Logon/Logoff event auditing. This will log
    events to the Security log.

    However, if you are doing some custom logging to the Application event log
    (e.g. through your own custom COM object), then you need to enable this.

    Cheers
    Ken
