Thanks for the article about CMTrace.exe
Do you know if there are command-line switches available for this tool?
Would be great to be able to specify a remote machine and specific log to view via scripting.
You could use sccm right click tools which has lot of scripts in which one of feature is open sccm client log files.
you can customize this as per the needs http://eskonr.com/2012/05/sccm-2012-right-click-tools/
