Then do it this way:

1. Modify the Default session to include logging with a
file name like unixserver-&H-&Y&M&D&T.log in whatever
directory you choose. The H will be filled in with
the hostname, YMDT with the year, month date time.
Save the Default session

2. In your batch file, start putty like:
putty.exe -ssh %user%@%host%
(I think that's the right DOS syntax)
where %user% and %host% will be filled in as you
described.

This will use the Default session which you already
modified to include logging.

All of this is described in the documentation at:
