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 From: Darren Mar-Elia [mailto:darren@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 18 December 2008 16:39 To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [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 (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?!?!? ;) Andrew From: Darren Mar-Elia [mailto:darren@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 18 December 2008 16:20 To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Enabling verbose logging in Vista? 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) Darren From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew McHale Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 8:09 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Enabling verbose logging in Vista? 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.

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. http://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid68_gci1294555, 00.html# <http://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid68_gci1294555 ,00.html> Any pointers most appreciated!
