MDrivenServer will try and write exceptions to the eventlog.

The eventlog may be restricted for the user running the MDrivenServer process. If this is the case you will see notes in MDrivenServer logs that is unable to write to eventlog.

To fix you must allow the MDrivenServer process user access. Follow the solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1274018/system-security-securityexception-when-writing-to-event-log

  1. Open the Registry Editor:

  2. Navigate/expand to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Security
    • Tip: I set the permission on the whole EventLog node
  3. Right click on this entry and select Permissions
  4. Add the Network Service user, or to the user running the AppPool
  5. Give it Read permission
