Export the Log Files for a Task If problems arise that cause a task to fail, you can review information about the task in the log files or send a copy of log files to VMware technical support. You can export the log files for a specific task in the task list. Procedure 1 Select the task in the task list. 2 In the Details pane, click the Task Progress tab. 3 Click Export Logs. 4 Select a location to save the files to and click Save. The log files for this task are saved to the selected location. Note Windows Explorer does not allow you to view the logs if you are logged in with restricted (non-administrator) user credentials. To avoid this situation, save the log files in a public folder rather than in a home directory.
