Extended logging and disk threshold for logging GPO policies are not component-specific

Details

Setting the policies for "Enable Extended logging" and "Disk threshold for log and events in MegaBytes" under Agent, Client or Server Configuration changes the settings for all components. The registry keys that these policies set are at the VMware VDM level and would overwrite each other even if the values were independent in the GPO.

Solution

To work around this problem, take one of the following actions:
  • Create separate Active Directory Organizational Units for components that require different settings, and apply policies to each.
  • Set the registry keys manually:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\DiskThresholdForLogAndEventsMB (REG_DWORD value in MB)
    and
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\traceEnabled (REG_SZ true/false)
