I have been having the same problem and have not found a solution. I have a VB6 COM Object running on server 2003 with IIS6. The command App.LogEvent will not log to the Application Log. This makes it very difficult to debug the COM object.

I have tried the following with no success
1). adding both IUSER and IWAM to the Administrators account
2). adding both IUSER and IWAM to the "Manage auditing and security log" in
Local Sucurty Settings\User Rights Assignments

This seems strange that windows 2003 would not allow com objects to write to the application log. Any other help besides having to modify the SDDL string?

Cheers

Christopher

you may want to look at this article. maybe the account does not have priviledges to write to the app log
