OK. Well, good to know I guess. I wonder if the "correct" key would enable
more verbose behavior or maybe this is just a fallback (or maybe something
changed btw my information in Vista beta and RTM). At the time, Microsoft
told me that gpsvc.log was only useful for MS support and should not be
enabled by customers J.

I tried it. Without the reg key, there is no gpsvc.log. After I have set the
key, the gpsvc.log appeared in the debug folder, and the file's content &
structure are similar than the old userenv.log. I don't know the official
statement about this behaviour. ;)

OK. Well the reg value that you put forward is not supposed to enable
verbose gpsvc.log logging, at least not according to what MS told me back in
the Vista beta days. That log requires a different reg hack.

Yes, there is no userenv.log at all, I mistyped the file name. :)
%Systemroot%\Debug\UserMode\gpsvc.log

The last time I looked, userenv in Vista no longer held detailed GP related
data. That had all been moved to the Operational log and gpsvc.log, which
contains much more low level detail than userenv used to.
Microsoft does provide a nifty command-line utility for view the Operational
Log data, called GPLogView. Its at www.codeplex.com/gplogview and in fact
you can download its source code from there as well. It has some cool
features, including real-time monitoring of Ops Log data-you can actually
see the GP events scroll onto the screen as GP is refreshing.

Thanks

Same reg key as Windows XP or Server 2003.
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon
Name: UserenvDebugLevel
Type: REG_DWORD
UserenvDebugLevel=30002
File path:
%Systemroot%\Debug\UserMode\Userenv.log

Some of you may know of my free program that formats the UserEnv log so that
you can see what is happening with Group Policy Processing.
When Vista was first released, the file was renamed to gpsvc.log with minor
changes to the format.
My latest release of Vista seems to have removed it totally, placing
information in the event viewer instead. Does anyone know if there is a
registry key to reenable it. or is it gone for good?
