What I found is that the ones that work have a “file” expandable string value that points to the actual log file. The ones with the error are missing that. Research led me to MS stating it is optional and that if it doesn’t exist it defaults to a specific place.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363648(v=vs.85).aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363648(v=vs.85).aspx</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Unfortunately it is different for 2012 and 2000/2003.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So first, is this a BBWin client issue or a Xymon issue?
