On Win2K yes. Check on the September, 2000 issue of the VFUG newsletter for information on NT. It's the first of the five part series of article Ed Rauh and I wrote regarding the WSH. In it you'll find the answer to NT 4.0, plus how to check for its presence.

There's a series of functions connected with Event Logging in the Platform SDK. The two that'll be of initial interest are: RegisterEventSource() and ReportEvent(). You can find these and others documented either in the MSDN Library or at the MSDN web site.
