Because problems can occur when editing GPOs, it is sometimes necessary to track error information by turning on the following logs:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
To generate the log file for GP Editor:
Set GPEditDebugLevel = REG_DWORD 0x10002
Log file location: %windir%\debug\usermode\gpedit.log
To generate the log file for some GP CSE information:
Set GPTextDebugLevel = REG_DWORD 0x1002
Log file location: %windir%\debug\usermode\gptext.log
Note: For log file settings to apply you need to restart the Group Policy editing session. For example, if you were editing policy via the Active Directory Users and Computers tool, you would need to close the entire tool and restart it in order to see the editing log information.
