Enterprise Library 5.0 not logging to remote computer

[EDN Admin]

Hi,
We are using Enterprise Library Exception Handling Application Block to log exceptions to the Event Log. This works well when I am logging the exception on the local machine. When I try to create an event log entry on a remote computer (which is the realtime scenario, a common event log for all clients), the log entry is not made. I do not see any exception while logging either.
I have even tried to add the application user as an administrator to the remote machine where the Event log entries have to be made. That does not work too.
A sample for the same is as below.
Class:using System;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling;
namespace BasicEventLog
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
throw new Exception();
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
ExceptionPolicy.HandleException(exception, "MyPolicy");
}
}
}
}
