In most environment I have worked in, I have not had access or easy access to some systems I was expected to troubleshoot ConfigMgr issues on especially servers.  I would normally have to ask for someone to send me logs and half the time needed to explain where to find that logs.  I wrote a quick ConfigMgr Run Script that I can target against a system or collection and no longer have to ask for logs because the script will get them for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The script collection logs from CCMSETUP, CCM, and Windows Update.\u00a0 You can also expand the script to grab other logs easily.\u00a0 The only thing you need to add to the script is the location to send the log files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
