How to create Windows EventLog source from command line?

by

Try “eventcreate.exe”

An example:

eventcreate /ID 1 /L APPLICATION /T INFORMATION  /SO MYEVENTSOURCE /D "My first log"

This will create a new event source named MYEVENTSOURCE under APPLICATION event log as INFORMATION event type.

I think this utility is included only from XP onwards.
