Can't get netsh ras set tracing tapi32 to work in windows7

[f***@gmail.com]

I have never had an issue tracing tapi, but I can't get it to work on a clients machine. I get this error:

"the syntax supplied for this command is not
valid"

I tried this on a VM of windows 7 on my machine and had the same error, but I think running the command prompt elevated fixed it. But I can't get it to work on another machine at all. If I change "tapi32" to "tapisrv" I can trace that. Very strange. It is like tapi32 is not recognized. But TAPI programs work.

Hi,
I just tried
netsh ras set tracing tapi32 enable
in a cmd.exe on a Win8pro(x64, Build 9200) and got no error message.
The tapi32.log file was created in the /Windows/tracing/ sub-directory.
I didn't need to elevate the cmd.exe for this.

Are you sure there was no typoo in:
netsh ras set tracing tapi32 enable

Yes, I was cutting and pasting the command to make sure. I am remoted into that machine, but not sure that would affect anything. I guess I will try a few more things tomorrow.

I just tried it on Win7pro (x64, Build 7601, German) and on Win8.1pro (x64, Build 9600, German) and it worked on both too, again without elevating cmd.exe with admin privs.
