Specify Log File Locations The program has two types of 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. On the General Deployment Settings page of the deployment process, you choose whether or not to create a network log file. 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\. 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. Specify Log File Locations | 19

Specify Log File Locations
The program has two types of 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. On the General Deployment Settings page of the
deployment process, you choose whether or not to create a network log
file. 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.
