This document intended to describe collecting postmortem log for problems e.g. network boot failure, slow imaging etc. in WinPE (Rdeploy/Ghost) environment.
To collect log, we assume a removable disk (e.g. USB) is connected to the machine. Additionally, you have already opened one of the minimized DOS windows after booting into WinPE env.
1. Check available writable disk
x:\windows\system32> diskpart
DISKPART> list volume
Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 0 D CD-ROM 0 B No Media
Volume 1 C OS NTFS Partition 51 GB Healthy System <<< writable disk
Volume 2 E USB NTFS Partition 1024MB Healthy <<< writable disk
* Disk Label C and E are writeable. We collect log in removable USB disk (E)
2. Collect logs running commands as required.
Example:
x:\windows\system32> mkdir e:\post_log
x:\windows\system32> copy x:\windows\system32\wpeinit.log e:\post_log\
x:\windows\system32> copy x:\windows\inf\setupapi.app.log e:\post_log\
x:\windows\system32> copy x:\windows\inf\setupapi.app.log e:\post_log\
x:\windows\system32> copy x:\windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log e:\post_log\
x:\windows\system32> ipconfig /all >> e:\post_log\ipconfig.log 2>&1
3. Compress and send the logs collected in e:\post_log directory.
x:\windows\system32> ipconfig /all >> e:\post_log\ipconfig.log 2>&1
3. Compress and send the logs collected in e:\post_log directory.
