Trace

This section is used to enable a trace for all components or specific components, always specify full path to a file.

Access condition must be fulfilled when writing to trace. This is usually only a problem when using Internet Explorer on Windows platforms, since File system access protection, also known as Sandbox, may stop updates even when everyone has full access.

Component

Use component name as entry instead of File to enable trace for a specific component:

Admin= C:\Temp\iid.txt
CredentialProvider=C:\Temp\iid.txt
CSP= C:\Temp\iid.txt
Directory=C:\Temp\iid.txt
MiniDriver=C:\Temp\iid.txt
Pkcs11=C:\Temp\iid.txt
Plugin=C:\Temp\iid.txt
SSO=C:\Temp\iid.txt
Watch=C:\Temp\iid.txt
Web=C:\Temp\iid.txt

File

Use File entry to specify trace for all components to same file without Net iD Trace service:

File=C:\Temp\iid.txt

Server

Use Server entry to specify trace for all components to same file with Net iD Trace service:

File=server
Server=C:\Temp\iid.txt
Using Net iD Trace service has less impact on the performance but must be manually started. If a reboot is needed when creating a trace file, set service to Automatic.

UseLocalTime

This entry specifies if local time should be used when creating trace file.

0

Local time is not used. This is the default value.

1

Trace will be created with local time
