Enable FIM and PCNS logging

FIM 2010 and the PCNS service can make use of the Application log to record events. In order to get more details on password synchronisation we can set the logging level to high and check the Application log during the initial configuration an deployment of PCNS.

For FIM 2010, there are four different logging levels that are controlled by adding the FeaturePwdSyncLogLevel (REG_DWORD) entry to the following registry subkey:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\FIMSynchronizationServices\Logging

0 = Minimal Logging
1 = Normal logging (default)
2 = High logging
3 = Verbose logging

For PCNS, there are also four logging levels that are again controlled by adding the EventLogLevel (REG_DWORD) entry to the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PCNSSVC\Parameters

0 = Minimal Logging
1 = Normal logging (default)
2 = High logging
3 = Verbose logging

A reboot is required in order for the changes to be applied.

Have fun and check the logs
