@Cavrel you can certainly write to the event log. There are two ways in VBScript to do this, one is to use the event provider from WMI, but it is a bit cumbersome. The easy way is to use the logevent method from the wshshell object. There are several articles that talk about this on the Hey Scripting Guy blog.
