The Event Log Toolkit overcomes the generic "VB runtime" event logging, along with its limited descriptions and lack of event categories.

It also allows administrators to query security information such as users in a group, and all groups to which a user is assigned. InaAuthenticate eliminates the need for keeping separate tables of usernames and passwords for assigning access to web applications.
