VBScript write to custom event log on remote machine
I know that it is possible to create a custom event log on a remote machine using:
Const NO_VALUE = Empty
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScr
WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\System\CurrentContro
NO_VALUE
and you can write events to a remote Application event log using:
Const EVENT_SUCCESS = 0
Const EVENT_ERROR = 1
Const EVENT_WARNING = 2
Const EVENT_INFORMATION = 4
Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscr
objShell.LogEvent EVENT_ERROR, _
"My custom message." , "\\[REMOTE_COMPUTER]"
But, how would you write a custom event to a custom event log on a remote machine?
FYI, I have already looked at "How To Write to the Windows NT/Windows 2000 System Log by Using the Windows Script Host" ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3BEN-US%3B257541 ) which does not provide any useful clues.
Need to make sure that this is in VBScript and since I need an answer quickly I will assign maximum points.
Thanks.

Can you inform me of the proper DLLs, with perhaps a sample script?
What I am trying to accomplish here is to log Success/Failures of pushing out MSI packages through GPO. Active Directory does not provide logging, except on the target machines, as to if the "push" was successful or failed.
Since I create the MSIs, I would like to add custom code to the end of the installation that would simply log the [ProductName], [ComputerName], [Date], [Time] and a [Success/Failure Message] to an custom event log on a "Tracking" machine.
I can call DLLs that either reside on the local machine or embed them in the package. So any information regarding the DLLs or APIs that leads me to accomplishing my goal would still result in an "Accepted Answer".
Thanks.
