We addressed this by configuring all of our event logs to log to a remote (Unix) syslog server. Might this be an option for you?

Subject: Accessing eventlogs remotely on W2K3 Server

In shared web environments it is necessary to enable application owners
to view the event logs on the IIS servers hosting their applications
(minus the security log).

This is easy to do in W2K server by having them use the run as command
with the event viewer MMC from their machines with an account that has
user privileges on the server (that DOES NOT have log on locally access
etc).

I have found one reference on the MS web site that indicates that you
must be a local admin on the server to view event logs remotely.

Has anyone else run into this? I need to provide real-time access but
I cannot give the application owners local admin accounts. Also, enabling
guest access to the logs is not an option.
