Initially I was opening the file in notepad but that isn&#8217;t a great way of going through log files. Then I remembered at work I use Trace32 from the SCCM 2007 Toolkit. So I downloaded it\u00a0from Microsoft. Then I learnt Trace32&#8217;s been replaced with one called CMTrace in SCCM 2012 R2.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s links to both the toolkits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=9257\" target=\"_blank\">System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Toolkit V2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=36213\" target=\"_blank\">System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager Toolkit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the 2007 toolkit when installing choose the option to only install the Common Tools and skip the rest. That will install only Trace32 at <code>C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ConfigMgr 2007 Toolkit V2<\/code> (add this to your <code>PATH<\/code> variable for ease of access).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rakhesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2007-toolkit.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1708 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rakhesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2007-toolkit.png?resize=509%2C399&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2007-toolkit\" width=\"509\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rakhesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2007-toolkit.png?w=509&amp;ssl=1 509w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rakhesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2007-toolkit.png?resize=300%2C235&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rakhesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2007-toolkit.png?resize=150%2C117&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rakhesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/2007-toolkit.png?resize=400%2C313&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the 2012 R2 toolkit choose the option to install only the Client Tools and skip the rest.
