GPO Logging Custom ADM & ADMX (for
Windows Vista)
GPLogging.ADMX
UPDATED on 12/14/06 to include new
custom ADMX for enabling logging in Vista RTM (updated version number in
ADMX so they would load correctly in Vista RTM)
This is a port of gpolog.adm to the new
Vista ADMX/ADML file format. Included in the download is the ADMX file for
enabling the logs that are still valid in Vista, as well as the
language-independent strings file (.ADML) for the English language. Look for
other languages here as soon as I can get them ported. The Figure below
shows what the new ADM looks like in the Vista GP Editor
Remember, these are still preferences, so you have to set
the Filtering within the GP Editor to allow "unmanaged" settings to be
shown. To download the new ADMX/ADML files, click the download link below.
To install this new template, copy the ADMX file to
c:\windows\policydefinitions
on the Vista machine where you edit Group Policy, and copy the ADML file to
the en-us folder under the policydefinitions folder. If you're using the
central, copy these two files to the central store within the same folders.
GPOLog.ADM
UPDATED ON 01/19/07 to include
super-verbose userenv logging flag and software restriction policy logging
UPDATED on 05/05/06 to include GPMC Logging
Options
This is a custom .ADM file that I created that
exposes all the GPO-related logging that I could find documented, including
verbose Application Event Log stuff, Software Installation, Folder Redirection,
Security, GPMC and even logging of the GPO Editor client itself. NOTE: In order
to see these policies in the GPO editor, you have to set the Filter that says
you want to view "unmanaged" policies. These policies then appear with a red icon next to them, as
shown here:
