I have an ASP.NET application running on a Windows Server 2008 box with IIS 7. The application started on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.

One of the changes was, the user account set as the identity for the Application Pool had...

My logging function usually records its output to a table in a database, but when that is not available it posts to the EventLog. On a reboot m...
Hello again, I'd like to make the Fiddler Event Log more readable. Right now I use #### lines so I can check the different responses and self-made actions. The best thing would be the use of font operations like color, bold or italic. I could just create my own log-frame, but I'd like to use all available Fiddler functionalities. ...
Our WiX script currently creates an event log source using the method described here. However, the log is created with default values for the Maximum log size and how it behaves when the log is full (e.g. Overwrite events as needed).

I need to monitor security event logs on very busy domain controllers, which generate hundreds of them each minute.
