In the past, carriers used a tool Microsoft Product Support Report (MPSReport) -What collected key data (event logs, MSInfo, etc.) and based study of Windows guest problems, but Microsoft has the distribution of this tool in October, 2013. the XDT was designed so that there are no prerequisites or dependencies were certain versions of PowerShell or other tools to create the ZIP file to make you run

it on most versions of the Windows operating system phases of tool development / integration .:

phase I - development of automated data collection tool for troubleshooting and identify, accelerate patterns that can be used for automation

I retrieve similar way recommend any permission issues to avoid, and it is easier to find and make the . Debugging Tools Bundle

 Example Screen output: Windows 7 generate MSInfo file as NFO - human-readable version of data generate MSInfo file as a text file - script version data log files copying on debugging tools ... Capturing pnputil -e issue ... Capturing state of the WMI repository (will fail if not running as administrator) ... Exporting system event log ... Exporting application event log ... and finalizing Creating zip file ... Microsoft (R) Windows script host version 5.8 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. 
 The process can not access the file because it is being used by another process. 

The file access message in the output is trying to remove the zip script while it is being used due to the cleanup routine. This message can be ignored.

When the script is finished a ZIP file are placed in the target set at the command line is available. An example filename would xt-bugtool-2015.09.28-1352.zip

The tool is constantly being improved, and I welcome suggestions for improvements.
We consider functionality to pack xenstore information described adding debugging tools as in another blog. A request was also an ISO to make the script on it to get it made easier to obtain the information on a host without networking. Hold to get the ideas and feedback.
