Once activated, the log files are generated in the %TEMP% directory. Some log files generated in this directory are:

• Managed System Installation

– SysMgmt.log

• Management Station Installation

– MgmtSt.log

These log files are created by default if the prerequisite checker user interface (UI) is running.
