SUMMARY

You may need to enable logs to monitor the activities of certain features in Routing and Remote Access (RRAS) and standard Dial-Up Networking (DUN). However, you may find that some of the necessary entries to enable logging are missing from the registry.

MORE INFORMATION

Certain registry keys to enable RRAS and DUN logging are not present in the registry immediately after you perform a "clean" installation of Windows 2000. These keys are not added because there is not yet a connection that will use them.

Some of these keys are: BAP, IPBOOTP, PPP, RASIPCP, RASCHAP, RASPAP, RASSPAP, and so on.

To make these keys appear, create a DUN connection:
  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Network and Dial-up Connections.
  2. Click Make New Connection.
  3. Follow the instructions in the Network Connection wizard to create a new dial-up connection. Creating a new connection creates the registry keys listed above.
The keys are created in the registry under the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tracing

Certain other components in the Windows 2000 Server products add additional options to the Tracing key. Items such as routing protocols (RIP and OSPF), Dial-on-Demand connections, and the Internet Authentication Service (IAS) have several components for which logging may be enabled.
