Sylink Debugging

I got the instructions below to gather some logs for a problem I've troubleshooting and I'd like to ask Symantec to develop a tool that will collect the sylink.log.

Since we have Tamper Protection enabled in our environment, I need to create a new group, without Tamper Protection and move the impacted machine to it, so I can change the reg keys required.

Also, can this be incorporated into SymHelp(Former SST)?

Instructions received from Symantec below:

Thanks!!

 

The only way to enable Sylink Debugging is through the registry:
