Wouldn't it be nice to be able to enable its debugging features remotely to multiple computers at the same time? If you answered YES, then please read on.

ATrace can be controlled by modifying its DWORD called Level which can be found in the following registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\eXpress\ATrace\CC

This means that you can quite easily create a registry file which can then be deployed via DS, SWD or any other method that you like to use.

1. Create a registry file containing the following:
   

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\eXpress\ATrace\CC]
   
   

2. Choose which Level you wish to use, and then add the appropriate line in order to complete the registry file:

   Information plus all options:
   "Level"=dword:ffe4ffff

   Warnings plus all options:
   "Level"=dword:ffe7ffff

   Errors plus all options:
   "Level"=dword:ffedffff
