log files with which you can monitor information about deployments and
installations.
■ Network log. The network log file keeps a record of all workstations that
run the deployment. The log lists the user name, workstation name, and
the status of the installation. Refer to this file for status information and
details about problems that users encountered during installation (for
example, low disc space or inadequate permissions).
The network log is named with the same name you chose for your
deployment. You can specify where the log file is created by entering either
a valid UNC (universal naming convention) path or hard-coded path on
your network, for example \\MyComputer\Autodesk\<Autodesk product>.
Users should use their actual computer name in place of MyComputer.
NOTE The folder where the network log resides must be a shared folder where
users who install the program have Change permissions. Otherwise, successes
or failures for user installations cannot be written to the log file.
■ Client log. The client log contains detailed installation information for
each workstation. This information may be useful in diagnosing installation
problems. The client log is located in the "Temp" directory of each client
workstation.
To specify a log file location
1 While creating a deployment, on the Configure Deployment page,
select the Create a Network Log File check box. Enter the name of
the folder where you want the network log to be located.
2 If you want to create a client log, select the Create a Log File in Each
Workstation's Temp Folder option.
3 Click Next.
