Hallo!

The documentation of the ReportEvent function says:
The function returns ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE if lpSourceName specifies
the
Security event log.

However the flowing code sample (on Windows Server 2003 EE with SP2)
shows
that this is not the case:

#include
#include

int main()
{
HANDLE const h = RegisterEventSource(NULL, _T("Security")); //
Returns NULL
DWORD const err = GetLastError(); // Returns 5 (Access denied)
}

Can someone explain this discrepancy?

Regards,
