Yes.

Logevent.exe from the W2K Server reskit or Supplement One.

eventcreate.exe could do what you want, unfortunately this is
an XP/2003 utility:

so it may not help you.

You can also use LogEvent method using WSH and VBS for this:

Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objShell.LogEvent 0, "daily drive backup successfully run"
