Group Policy Software Installation EVENT LOGGING?

[Guest]

How do you enable event logging for Group Policy Software Installations???
One kb lists the following, but I'm not sure what subkey I want to enable...
I've set up software installation for 4 machines, but it only installed on
one... trying to figure out why?!:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Diagnostics
Each of the following REG_DWORD values under the Diagnostics subkey
represent a type of event that can be written to the event log:
1 Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC)
2 Security Events
3 ExDS Interface Events
4 MAPI Interface Events
5 Replication Events
6 Garbage Collection
7 Internal Configuration
8 Directory Access
9 Internal Processing
10 Performance Counters
11 Initialization/Termination
12 Service Control
13 Name Resolution
14 Backup
15 Field Engineering
16 LDAP Interface Events
17 Setup
18 Global Catalog
19 Inter-site Messaging

Hello Virtual_Ron,

If Group policies not apply to workstations check DNS settings and that domain
computers are set to apply Group policys. Also check that the workstations
in the right OU. If only one is correct compare the settings to the other.
They all should point to your domain DNS only.

Best regards

Hi,

Enable the following for Verbose logging

Debug logging for the Software Installation CSE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Add a key called Dignostics and under Diagnostics a Dword=
appmgmtdebuglevel with a value of 0000009b
The logs are found in %systemroot%\debug\usermode\appmgmt.log

Debug logging for the Windows Installer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer
Add a key called Logging with a Dword called Debug with a value of
00000003
For system initiated deployments the installer runs in the system
context and the log is found at the following location
%systemroot%\temp\msi*.log

For user-initiated actions the logs are created in the following
location
%temp%\msi*.log

Good luck
