Why on earth wasn't the ability to automate client shutdown implemented as part of the "power management" features that SCCM 2007 R3 was soley released for?

Third party software has been filling this void for years because Microsoft "screwed the pooch" with this one.

Then they FINALLY release a way to manage power on clients uniformly across the enterprise, but leave this out!!

WTG Microsoft.

Has anyone got this to work? I tested it and my log file continues to only grow to a max of 256KB. I made sure I was using the modified boot image and still cannot get my log file to go any bigger. Any advice will be most helpful as right now I am only able to capture less than 5 minutes of my task sequence. Thanks.

This does not seem to be working for me. I have created a smsts.ini file and injected it into my WinPE image in the Windows folder. Is there anything else special about this file? I have verified that the file is there, but the Task Sequence variables for _SMSTSLogMaxSize and _SMSTSLogMaxHistory remain at the default values.
