Windows 2016 Server

CRM 2016

I have spent the last few days banging my head against a brick wall.

I have a custom entity (new_transactionsets) which when a record is added it will fire off a workflow. All that is currently in the workflow is to write an event to the window's log.

Try as I may, I keep getting the same error.

Code :

       If Not EventLog.SourceExists("MySource") Then
            ' Create the source, if it does not already exist.
            ' An event log source should not be created and immediately used.
            ' There is a latency time to enable the source, it should be created
            ' prior to executing the application that uses the source.
            ' Execute this sample a second time to use the new source.
            EventLog.CreateEventSource("MySource", logName:="CRM2018")
        End If

        ' Create an EventLog instance and assign its source.
        Dim myLog As New EventLog()
        myLog.Source = "MySource"

        ' Write an informational entry to the event log.    
        myLog.WriteEntry("Writing to event log.")

This code was taken from an example

I keep getting the following error

Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched.

I have given network service full permission on the event log but still no joy ....
