AdDiag Remarks

Understanding AdDiag Report Output

AdDiag can generate a report containing the following sections of information.

General Info

Provides user configuration details.

TS Info

Provides information about whether or not Microsoft Terminal Server is running.

Managed Apps (Local List)

Lists all applications with information stored in the registry. The applications are listed by GUID. The GUID is set from the Software Installation snap-in, so in a case where the friendly name does not appear correct, the GUID is the information of most use in troubleshooting.

Assign count is the count of full advertisements executed for the application. This should make a difference only in Roaming User Profile (RUP) cases, the only cases when additional full advertisements are made for the same user.

The following table lists values returned for UI level and their descriptions.

Level	Description
0x0	UI level is unchanged.
0x1	Default UI.
0x2	Completely silent installation.
0x3	Progress bars and error handling.
0x4	Authored UI (wizard dialog boxes suppressed).
0x5	Authored UI (wizards, progress bars, and error handling).

The following table lists values returned for Application State and their descriptions.

0x8	Leave application unmanaged when Group Policy no longer applies.
0x10	Remove application when Group Policy no longer applies.

Deployed Apps (Server)

Deployed Apps (Server) is a full list of applications from the Group Policy objects applied to the given user (or computer). In the case of upgrade relationships, the base application is still listed, even if there is an upgrade for it. This feature has not yet been implemented.

MSI Apps

MSI Apps lists all applications for which there is Windows Installer information. Managed applications come from Software Installation and Maintenance, unmanaged applications come from alternative distribution, such as Microsoft Systems Management Server.
