Hi,

Where I can find smsts.log file in SCCM12 server? I am not able to find the same. Is the log name changed to some different

What information are you looking for exactly? It's a logfile that the ConfigMgr *client* generates when a task sequence is running, so you'll find it on the server only if it ran a task sequence.

As smsts.log file is created while ur task running on client. Is the same log is created/updated in sccm 2012 on server as well.

The log file will be found on the client - not the server (unless you specifically run a task sequence on the server and it is now the client).

The log is in a different location depending on the situation

During OS Deployment

Before your hard drive is formatted and partitioned            

X:\windows\temp\smstslog\

After your hard drive is partitioned formatted                

X:\smstslog\ and then is in C:\_SMSTaskSequence\logs\smstslog\

Within Windows

Within Windows before the SCCM agent is installed:       

C:\_SMSTaskSequence\logs\smstslog\

Within Windows after the SCCM agent installed:           

C:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\smstslog\

When the Task Sequence completes on a x86           

C:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\

For x64 Systems

C:\windows\SysWOW64\ccm\logs\

Check the followings:

Every Task Sequence action is logged to SMSTS.log file which can be found in these locations during deployment:

In Windows PE Phase:

x:\Windows\Temp\SMSTSLog\

In Full Windows Operating System (no Configuration Manager Client installed):
c:\_SMSTSTaskSequence\Logs\

In Full Windows Operating System (with Configuration Manager Client installed):
c:\Windows\ccm\logs\SMSTSLog\
