Hi Abhishek, Thanks for your reply.I did tried the same code you suggested.Have got lots of errors.Not sure where n how i need to implement your suggestion to fulfill my requirement.my sample code is as follows: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler; using System.Threading; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Net; using System.Net.Mail; //using System.Diagonistics.EventLog; namespace { { { { { Task taskdDef = task.FindTask( TaskSchedulerRemote class Program static void Main( string [] args) using (TaskService task = new TaskService()) while ( true ) "RF Report" ); //string registeredTask; //string[] taskCollection = { "", "", "" }; //foreach (string str in taskCollection) //{ //For Each registeredTask In taskCollection { Console.WriteLine( Console.WriteLine( Console.WriteLine( Console.WriteLine( Console.WriteLine( } Thread.Sleep(10000); MailMessage Msg = MailAddress fromMail = switch (taskdDef.State) case TaskState.Queued: "Queued" ); break ; case TaskState.Ready: "Ready" ); break ; case TaskState.Unknown: "Unknown" ); break ; case TaskState.Disabled: "Disabled" ); break ; case TaskState.Running: "Running" ); break ; new MailMessage(); new MailAddress( sisir14@gmail.com ); // Sender e-mail address. Msg.From = fromMail; // Recipient e-mail address. Msg.To.Add( Msg.Priority = new MailAddress ( sisir14@gmail.com )); MailPriority .High; // Subject of e-mail Msg.Subject = Msg.Body += Msg.Body += Msg.IsBodyHtml = sSmtpServer = a.Host = sSmtpServer; a.EnableSsl = "Scheduled Task Status Report:" + System. DateTime .Now; " Hi All, Please find below the status report of schduled task : " ; " Regards, " + " NOTE: This is an automated mail. Please, do not reply. " ; true ; string sSmtpServer = "" ; "" ; SmtpClient a = new SmtpClient (); false ; try { a.Send(Msg); } { Console.WriteLine( Console.WriteLine(ep.Message); } Console .WriteLine( "Sending mail..." ); Console .WriteLine( "Mail was sent successfully!" ); catch (Exception ep) "failed to send mail:" ); //} } EventLog.CreateEventSource(sSource, sLog); EventLog.WriteEntry(sSource, sEvent, EventLogEntryType.Error, 234); } } } } string sSource = "MyCustom Group" ; string sLog = "Application" ; string sEvent = "" ; if (!EventLog.SourceExists(sSource)) Please suggest.

Let me answer one by one. 1. Writing an EventLog in windows environment using .NEt is very easy. Use System.Diagonistics.EventLog. try { string sSource = "MyCustom Group"; string sLog = "Application"; string sEvent = Message; if (!EventLog.SourceExists(sSource)) EventLog.CreateEventSource(sSource, sLog); EventLog.WriteEntry(sSource, sEvent, EventLogEntryType.Error, 234); return true; } catch { return false; } This is a sample code. Source is the group of Events, it is used to identify the Log entry. There is also EventLogEntryType which indicates the alert icon for the EventLog entry and also a custom eventlog number which helps you to identify the error number. 2. Mailing is also not a big deal. There are lot of articles available on the internet which can guide you to send mails. To Send mails from .NET environment you need to use SmtpClient. I have a post on sending mail using Gmail Server : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/20546/How-to-Send-Mails-from-your-GMAIL-Account-through This can help you to get through this. 3. Hmm, You can use ManagementObject to do that. It automatically handles impersonation for you so it is easier to implement. Here is some code for you. static IEnumerable GetServices(string host, string username, string password) { string ns = @"root\dom1"; string query = "select * from Win32_Service"; ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions(); if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(username)) { options.Username = username; options.Password = password; } ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(string.Format(@"\{0}\{1}", host, ns), options); scope.Connect(); ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, new ObjectQuery(query)); ManagementObjectCollection retObjectCollection = searcher.Get(); foreach (ManagementObject mo in searcher.Get()) { yield return mo.GetText(TextFormat.Mof); } } I hope this helps.
