I have a WCF Service that is not able to write to the Event Log because it does not have permission to create the event source. I have followed the instructions on the MSDN site found here, however they are relatively non-descript.

What is the proper process for adding a WCF Service Reference to the Registry Editor under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\MySourcesName]

Do I need any Name, Type, Data values other than (Default), REG_SZ, (value not set)

Is it a windows service or a IIS hosted one ? – Milan Raval Feb 01 '13 at 04:16
You can try impersonation as in the link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms730088.aspx – Milan Raval Feb 01 '13 at 04:25
This is for an IIS hosted service. sorry, i'll add that to my question. – NealR Feb 01 '13 at 16:21
Do you mean from code or from the command-line? See this question for more information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/446691/how-to-create-windows-eventlog-source-from-command-line/1036133#1036133 – 500 - Internal Server Error Feb 01 '13 at 18:55
