By default, logging for Remote Control is enabled, but is not dynamic. The standard log is located at:
%windir%\MS\SMS\LOGS\RemCtrl.log
Creating an additional registry value at can enable a more robust and dynamic log to help troubleshoot remote control problems. The registry key is created at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Client\Client Components\ Remote Control
Insert a REG_DWORD value of LogToFile (case is important) and set it to 1.
Because WUSER32 runs as a Windows NT service, the registry change takes place dynamically. On Windows 95 and 98 machines, the PC must be rebooted for the change take effect.
The new log file is located at:
%windir%\MS\SMS\LOGS\Wuser32.log
You can download and distribute the RemLog utility which adds the key for you, determines the OS type, and restarts the PC if the OS is Win95 or 98. Distribute with the /s (silent switch).
