Is there a way to retrieve the log files for software deployments without having the user have to allow control? 

We have several non-domain joined machines (which means I have no unassisted remote access) where some software deployments are failing. The deployment progress server side has quite minimal information

"Installation Failed - Fatal error during installation."

Whereas the log files on the machine have a little more information

Is there a way to automatically retrieve the log files without user interaction? When I don't have access via the C$ share.
