[gptalk] Re: Enabling verbose logging in Vista?

Andrew-

You should not have to do anything to turn on Operational Logging. If you go
into the Event Viewer under Applications & Services Logs, Microsoft,
Windows, GroupPolicy, you should see many, many events, which correspond to
the detailed logging. You can use the command-line GPLogView utility

a text file, filter it, or even view it in real-time.

You sounds like you use this view often Darren... so any idea what I'm doing
wrong?!?!? ;)

Yea, I'm always curious to know why someone would drop into gpsvc.log when
the GP Operational Logs are there (well, besides Alan, I know he likes those
nasty text logs J)

Hi FlowMaN,

 

Isn't that registry value for pre-Vista machines? I thought the registry
value for Vista (according to the link I supplied) is "GPEditDebugLevel".

 

However, I am trying to avoid registry entries by using the Event Viewer
views.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Name: UserenvDebugLevel 
Type: REG_DWORD
UserenvDebugLevel=30002

C:\Windows\Debug\UserMode\gpsvc.log

Hi all,

 

Has anyone used verbose GP/Userenv logging in Vista yet?

 

I've been hunting around google today but can't find how to do it.

 

I found the below link that describes turning it on via the new event viewer
but after creating a custom view with Verbose ticked and rebooting the
custom view is empty.

Any pointers most appreciated!
