SSTK log file

When the SSTK scripts run, SSTK records event messages and errors in a log file. Each time you
boot the target server, a new log file is created with the proper time stamp. SSTK creates a file
with the following name:
SystemName-SerialNumber-yyyymmdd-hhmmss.log
Where:
SystemName
SerialNumber
yyyymmdd
hhmmss
For example: server rx7640-USE46440SD-20080114153020.log.

Log file format

For each command executed by an SSTK script, the following entry is recorded in the log file:

NOTE: After WinPE boots, a temporary SSTK log file is created in the WinPE X:\sstktem.log
root folder. You can use this log file in case the remote share fails to mount.
