Say I have a simple application that reads the eventlog entries on a remote
machine:

Dim myEvents as new EventLog("Application", "1.2.3.4")
For Each myEvent as EventLogEntry in myEvents.Entries
    Console.WriteLine(myEvent.Message)
Next

And I would like that to get the message for all sources.  It does work,
quite well, in fact, EXCEPT that you get this odd erro at the beginning of
every message:

"The description for Event ID '0' in Source 'TheSampleAgent' cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message DLL files to display the message, or you may not have permission to
access them.  The following information is part of the event:'03:00:14.03 -
Blah Blah Blag  v1.02  (build 20040608.0915)'"

This seems to have something to do with registering a source locally for an
specific logging application.  Does this mean that I won't ever be able to
read this message remotely without registering the source on the reading
workstation?

Thanks!
