LogEvent questions

object.LogEvent(intType, strMessage [,strTarget])

Using VBScript...

Is there a limit to the length of "strMessage"?

Is it possible to put a hyperlink in "strMessage" (aside from the one
Windows adds) so the user could click to get more info?

Is "intType" restricted to the 6 values listed in the WSH documentation? If
not, how can I put my own values in?

Is it possible to change event source from WSH to, say, the name of the
script?

Thanks,

Tom

No, according to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/logging_guidelines.asp.

You can change the source name using STMAdmin.DLL, available from
http://cwashington.netreach.net/main/tools/default.asp?topic=n-z. Doco at
http://cwashington.netreach.net/main/library/stmadmin.html

Note it says that WMI/WBEM obsoletes this control, so you might want to
investigate that method of writing to the event log.

Hi,

That note is in error, WMI have no support for writing to event logs...
