At some point you’re going to run into a problem with your imaging process and knowing where to look to get some answers is going to be paramount.

I prefer to keep logs in a central location so they’re easy to find when needed, and for that, we’ll create a new share on our MDT server.  Run the below from the MDT server.

Open your CustomSettings.ini and find a suitable place to add the entries for SLShare and SLShareDynamicLogging depending on your preferred scenario.  Either is fine, just depends on your preference and environment.

Alternatively you could add steps to the Task Sequence itself to set those variables to their appropriate values, be it hard coded or relative.

You can get pretty creative, and for automated deployments, I usually default to something like this:

This way I can see what Task Sequence a particular machine ran. But, to each their own.

Both values do different things:

With the CustomSettings.ini updated, image a machine and check your log directory for a folder structure:

While a machine is imaging, open the BDD.log (in the latter directory mentioned above) with CMTrace from your MDTServer (or whatever machine you’re working on) and you will see live updates:

When the Task Sequence is finished go back into the log directory for that machine and you will to find the logs that were copied up by MDT:

MDT Logs can be a little challenging to locate initially so I recommend you study up those links mentioned in the recommended reading section above.

Keep in mind there are other non-MDT logs you’ll probably need to review that are not listed here.

You now have some historical data to dig into if something goes wrong, which will hopefully be few & far in between!

Good Providence to you!
