Superlogging Mode

SuperLogging mode is a special debugging mode which you can use to test or investigate the behaviour of your Software Update Wizard scripts. It writes a 'verbose' level of detail to the WebUpdateSvc4.log file, instead of the normal, mode concise data.

You can switch SuperLogging on in the WebUpdateSvc4.ini file, by setting the SuperLogging entry to 'Y'. (Note: the entry is case-sensitive.)
The WebUpdateSvc4.log is at ‘C:\WINDOWS\system32\WebUpdateSvc4.log’ and the WebUpdateSvc4.ini is at ‘C:\WINDOWS\WebUpdateSvc4.ini’ in the default installation.

Here is the difference between standard logging and SuperLogging.
