Thank you for your reply. Do you have any idea on how to do this, or where I can look? I already have a login script mapping drives / printers. Hoping to add this to it!

For simple info logging, I would begin by looking at the RedirectOutput() function, and the list of built in Macros.

Use the below link to download one of the newer CHM help files.

Here's an example of the log from our login script:

You can see that logging can be quite detailed. Our script displays login info and logs the debug level info.

As Shane mentioned, using RedirectOutput('logfile') at the start of your script will put every message to the log file. If you want to mix log and screen output, you might want to use a function that flips the redirection on and off. The fMsg() function on my web site does just this. Simply call fMsg('screen message', 'log message', options...)
