JSI Tip 2486. How do I enable user environment event logging in Windows 2000?

You can turn on logging for group policy, remote boot, and application deployment, or you can enable them all.

To enable them all, allowing administrators to inspect the Application Event Log remotely, use Regedt32 to navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersion

On the Edit menu, Add Key name Diagnostics, leaving the Class empty. Select the Diagnostics key and Add Value name RunDiagnosticLoggingGlobal, as a REG_DWORD data type. In the DWORD Editor, set the data value to 1.

If you wish to enable group policy logging only, don't add the RunDiagnosticLoggingGlobal value name. Instead, Add Value name RunDiagnosticLoggingGroupPolicy, as a REG_DWORD data type. In the DWORD Editor, set the data value to 1.

To enable remote boot logging, Add Value name RunDiagnosticLoggingIntelliMirror, as a data type REG_DWORD. In the DWORD Editor, set the data value to 1.

To enable application deployment logging, Add Value name RunDiagnosticLoggingAppDeploy, as a REG_DWORD data type. In the DWORD Editor, set the data value to 1.
