We are still using Enterprise Instrumentation(that was created during .Net 1.1 time)
In new Server 2008 environment and IIS 7 we have the following errors:
The 'sessionName' parameter of value 'TraceSession' is not valid. A trace session of this name does not exist in the TraceSessions configuration file for Windows Trace Session Manager service. Ensure that a session of this name exists in the TraceSessions configuration file and that the Windows Trace Session Manager service is started.

I’ve seen the same errors on development Win7 machines when using IIS. It seems not a problem on Cassini.
I've checked ,that Windows Trace Session Manager Service has started and
The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Enterprise Instrumentation\Bin\Trace Service\TraceSessions.config has corresponding entry
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration >
<defaultParameters minBuffers="4" maxFileSize="10" maxBuffers="25" bufferSize="20" logFileMode="sequential" flushTimer="3" />
<sessionList>
<session name="TraceSession" enabled="false" fileName="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Enterprise Instrumentation\Bin\Trace Service\Logs\TraceLog.log" />
</sessionList>
</configuration>
The errors still continue, but I was able to disable the parameter in eventSink configuration
<eventSink name=" traceSink" description=" Outputs events to the Windows Event Trace." type ="Microsoft.EnterpriseInstrumentation.EventSinks.TraceEventSink ">
<!-- MNF disabled parameter to avoid error "The 'sessionName' parameter of value 'TraceSession' is not valid"
< parameter name ="sessionName " value ="TraceSession " />
-->
</ eventSink>

One day I wish to replace all EnterpriseInstrumentation calls with NLog.
