  • EventLogIdsToRead: List of event logs ids separated by ';' that are read by VDI Client together with the error and critical events.
  • EventLogIdsToReadDomain:  List of Active Directory domain names separated by ';' to which the parameter 'EventlogIdsToRead' applies. If the parameter is empty it applies to all the domains.
