Sorry, I just reread your question and see that you aren't having to code this, just view the logs. In which case psloglist may well assist.

For security reason, it is required to stop "remote registry service" in Windows 2000 which make remote event log viewing failure.

Have you tried running psloglist out of the freeware pstools on www.sysinternals.com? It's not a nice clean solution but you could shell out to it and get it to dump the logs to a file. Worth a try. Unfortunately they don't list the source code for this tool as they do for many of the others. BUT if it does work it's using the Win32 API calls (not WMI etc I think) so you might find the following article helps you.
