How to access other machines' event log files from a web server?

[Andrew]

Hello, friends,

We have a .net web app, which will need to access event log files of other
machines in our company's network using System.Diagnostics.EventLog namespace.

In Web.config, we set:

<identity impersonate="true"/>

In IIS Directory Security setting tab, we checked all Authenticated Access,
and unchecked Anonymous Access.

But, it still does not work. When a user visit this web app, he/she has no
problem to visit other pages, except the one that needs to retrieve event log
info from other machines. The error message is:

Access to the registry key is denied.

Any ideas, reference papers? Help please....

Thanks.

Hello Andrew,

Have you enabled delegation on the server?
whom do you impersonate?
