[gptalk] Re: Enabling verbose logging in Vista?

Darren,

 

Does this mean that Verbose logging is now on by default via the event
viewer?

 

I was hoping to increase the logging to maximum as I know when I ask the
question about slow GPUpdate times I'll be asked if I've enabled verbose
logging ;)

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
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=BCFB1955-CA1D-
4F00-9CFF-6F541BAD4563&displaylang=en) to display this data to 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.

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!
