How To Read Teamviewer Log File

| Posted on by

The major difference between the File Box and the File Transfer browser is that the File Box requires the remote system to accept the file transfer on the other side. Please make sure to have someone on the other system, or be prepared to accept the file manually using Teamviewer on your current system. Log all user activity, record remote sessions, and set user policies for complete auditability and visibility into who is doing what, when, and for how long. With TeamViewer Tensor™, you can ensure your enterprise stays compliant with security protocols and internal requirements, while detecting security risks before they impact your business.

This article describes how to analyze the log files that the Microsoft Windows Resource Checker (SFC.exe) program generates in Windows Vista.

Original product version: Windows Vista
Original KB number: 928228

Note

Support for Windows Vista without any service packs installed ended on April 13, 2010. To continue receiving security updates for Windows, make sure you're running Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (SP2). For more information, see Support is ending for some versions of Windows.

Overview

You can use the SFC.exe program to help you troubleshoot crashes that occur in the user mode part of Windows Vista. These crashes may be related to missing or damaged operating system files.

The SFC.exe program performs the following operations:

  • It verifies that non-configurable Windows Vista system files have not changed. Also, it verifies that these files match the operating system's definition of which files are expected to be installed on the computer.
  • It repairs non-configurable Windows Vista system files, when it is possible.

The SFC.exe program writes the details of each verification operation and of each repair operation to the CBS.log file. Each SFC.exe program entry in this file has an [SR] tag. The CBS.log file is located in the %windir%LogsCBS folder.

Note

The Windows Modules Installer service also writes to this log file. (The Windows Modules Installer service installs optional features, updates, and service packs.)

You can search for [SR] tags to help locate SFC.exe program entries. To perform this kind of search and to redirect the results to a text file, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type cmd in the Start Search box, right-click cmd in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator.If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.

  2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:

The Sfcdetails.txt file includes the entries that are logged every time that the SFC.exe program runs on the computer.

The SFC.exe program verifies files in groups of 100. Therefore, there will be many groups of SFC.exe program entries. Each entry has the following format:

How To Read Teamviewer Log File

Although the log file entry states that the SFC.exe program is repairing the changed file, no actual repair operation occurs when a file is verified.

The following list describes other messages that may be logged in the SFC.exe program entries of the CBS.log file after verification is completed.

  • Entry 1: Cannot repair member file file details. For example:

    Cannot repair member file [l:14{7}]'url.dll' of Microsoft-Windows-IE-WinsockAutodialStub, Version = 6.0.5752.0, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL (0), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type neutral, TypeN

    This entry indicates that the file content does not match the operating system definition for the file. In this situation, the SFC.exe program cannot repair the file.

  • Entry 2: Repaired file file details by copying from backup. For example:

    Repaired file SystemRootWinSxSManifests[ml:24{12},l:18{9}]'netnb.inf' by copying from backup

    This entry indicates that a problem exists with a file. The SFC.exe program can repair this file by copying a version from a private system store backup.

  • Entry 3: Repairing corrupted file file details from store. For example:

    Repairing corrupted file [ml:520{260},l:36{18}]'??C:Windowsinf'[l:18{9}]'netnb.inf' from store

    This entry indicates that a problem exists with a file. The SFC.exe program can repair this file by copying a version from the system store.
