I have become very dependent on SPA in 2003 for lots of external LDAP calls we have coming into AD, and now that we are migrating to AD 2008, I am trying to get familiar with data collector sets. The one thing I havent been able to find is how to set the equivalent verboseness of SPA "expertlevel" in inside of 20080 data collector sets/trace providers. I see 'level' but that does not seem to have the same affect, at least setting it at a value of 10(0x0a) like I did in SPA.

There's no way to modify anything on the built-in really. It's intentioanlly protected from being broken through carelessness. You have to create a new one, like Dave described above.
