Client policy request logging on management points must be enabled.
Client pulse must be able to access the log files.
Before using client pulse, you must ensure that each management point is configured to enable logging of policy requests. You can use two methods to enable policy request logging on management points. For details about how to configure policy request logging, see How to Configure Policy Request Logging on Management Points.
If the Client Status Reporting Service account does not have local administrator privileges on the management point server, you must manually configure each server to enable policy request logging and share the log files folder with Read-only permissions for the client status reporting service.
Client status reporting automatically configures the management point server to log policy requests and connects to the Admin$ share on each server to retrieve the log files. To use this option, the Client Status Reporting Service account must have local administrator privileges on the management point computer.
Granting the Client Status Reporting Service account administrator privileges on the management point is not recommended, because it introduces more configuration overhead. The more secure method is to manually enable policy logging on the management point and manually configure the log folder so that the Client Status Reporting Service account has read permission.
