How to Enable User Environment Event Logging in Windows 2000

MORE INFORMATION

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

You can log environment events using either Normal or Verbose mode. Information from either of these modes is stored in the Windows NT event log so that an administrator can view events either locally or remotely using Event Viewer.

To enable all forms of user environment event logging using Verbose mode without having to add a registry value for each component individually, add the following value to the registry:

   Registry Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT
                  \CurrentVersion\Diagnostics

   Value Name   : RunDiagnosticLoggingGlobal
   Value Type   : REG_DWORD
   Value Data   : 1
				

NOTE: The Diagnostics key is not present by default. You need to add it and leave the Class key empty.

To enable verbose event logging for group policies only, add the following value to the Registry:

   Registry Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\ 
                  CurrentVersion\Diagnostics

   Value Name   : RunDiagnosticLoggingGroupPolicy
   Value Type   : REG_DWORD
   Value Data   : 1
				

To enable verbose event logging for application deployment only, add the following value to the Registry:

   Registry Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\ 
                  CurrentVersion\Diagnostics

   Value Name   : RunDiagnosticLoggingApplicationDeployment
   Value Type   : REG_DWORD
   Value Data   : 1
