Driver station not saving logs

[simpsonboy77]

I was CSAing an event this past weekend and there were two teams who had no logs. I tried running as admin, and making the Log Files folder, but neither helped. I suspect it was a permissions issue, but I can't be certain and I do not have physical access to their laptops anymore.

Has anyone seen this before? If so what was the root cause?

I've seen it with school administered laptops.
The cases I saw have been permissions or because the laptops were setup to go to a public documents folder on a school network that was unavailable at competition.

I have also had to search for the .dslog files before. So sometimes the are on the laptop but not in the normal location. Pretty rare, but it happens.

Is there a way to change the save path of the ds logs? I didn't see an obvious path in the program files\FRC DS\driverstation.ini (or whatever it is called exactly).
