I have a problem how to use the code below for the admin of the local remote computer. Typing ".", "" Or "computer name" as domain doesn't help. The omission results in a syntax error.

EventLogSession session = new EventLogSession(
"ComputerName", // Remote Computer
"Domain", //Domain
"Admin", // Username
pw,
SessionAuthentication.Default);

    Hi matitdob-1938,
    If you query events from a remote computer, you need to specify the name and domain of the remote computer, as well as the user name and password used to connect to the remote computer. Instead of Typing ".", "" Or "computer name" as Domain.
    More details you can refer to this document.
    In addition, you need to be ensure that the specified user has local administrator rights on the PC queried by EventLogSession.
    Best Regards,
