eventlog machinename

[Bilge TUTAK]

Hi,
I want to connect to a remote machine to check the event log. However, I
could not understand how to provide the credentials for the remote machine.
I can set the machine name with the machinename property of eventlog class.
Do I have to have the same credentials on the remote machine to connect to
it.?

Thanx

Hi

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're trying to do. If you want to access the event log on another machine, your credentials are handled
automatically. In other words, you can dim up an event log with the machine name and if the credentials of the user running your code can access the
eventlog of that machine, it will just work.
