Hi,
Where I can find smsts.log file in SCCM12 server? I am not able to find the same. Is the log name changed to some different name?

Answer 1

The log file will be found on the client - not the server (unless you specifically run a task sequence on the server and it is now the client).
The log is in a different location depending on the situation
During OS Deployment
Before your hard drive is formatted and partitioned            
X:\windows\temp\smstslog\
After your hard drive is partitioned formatted                
X:\smstslog\ and then is in C:\_SMSTaskSequence\logs\smstslog\
Within Windows
Within Windows before the SCCM agent is installed:       
C:\_SMSTaskSequence\logs\smstslog\
Within Windows after the SCCM agent installed:           
C:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\smstslog\
When the Task Sequence completes on a x86           
C:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\
For x64 Systems
C:\windows\SysWOW64\ccm\logs\

I am pretty sure this is incorrect.  The location after TS completion is %systemroot%\ccm\logs  (usually c:\windows\ccm\logs) on both x86 and x64 platforms.
