After using MDT to deploy Windows Vista and now using for deploying Windows 7, I’ve always looked to the MDT log files with some dislike.

Couple hours later, I’ve received a comment from Microsoft team helping me out saying that I should give a try on SMS Trace application.
I’ve tested it, I’ve liked it and I’ve loved it! 
This application (old like hell!) make the job easier!
