Log_RemoveLogs

VB Scripting Library > OSD Scripting Library > Log functions (OSD)

Log_RemoveLogs()

Removes all existing log files for the computer under the log folder set in gsLogServerFolder. The function deletes the subfolder named after the computer’s UUID and the subfolder named after the new computer name.
If the web service is enabled in OSDGui.ini, the function asks the web service to remove the log files instead.

Arguments

No arguments provided.

Return Type

Boolean, TRUE if function completed successfully.

Remarks

Typically used in the PreBootScript.wsf

Log_SubmitLogs calls this function before it uploads the files, so you only need to call it yourself if you want to remove the logs without submitting new ones.

Example

The following example will do the following:

• Set the global variable gsLogServerFolder to a log share on the OSD server.
• Add a custom logfile is registered for submit along with the well-known logfiles.
• Register the product key as an unwanted text string that should be excluded from all files.
• Submit the logfiles.

• VBScript
