When I test my startup or logon script to deploy the tool, I don't see the log files that are being copied to the network share that I set up. This is frequently caused by permissions issues. For example, the account that the removal tool was run from does not have Write permission to the share.
To troubleshoot this, first make sure that the tool ran by checking the registry key. Alternatively, you can look for the presence of the log file on the client computer.
If the tool successfully ran, you can test a simple script and make sure that it can write to the network share when it runs under the same security context in which the removal tool was run.

You can implement such an examination as part of a startup script or a logon script. This process prevents the tool from running multiple times. Every time that the tool is run, the tool records a GUID in the registry to indicate that it has been executed.
This occurs regardless of the results of the execution. The following table lists the GUID that corresponds to each release. How can I disable the infection-reporting component of the tool so that the report is not sent back to Microsoft?
