Diagnostics Logging

Diagnostics logging regulates the level of detail of events and information written to the Windows NT application event log by Microsoft Exchange Server services and components. Logging levels are set by category for each service and component.

Usually, the service name in the Diagnostics Logging property page corresponds to the source name in the event log as displayed by the Windows NT Event Viewer. Similarly, the categories in the Diagnostics Logging property page for each component match the categories of events as displayed in the Event Viewer.

As you adjust the logging levels for categories of a service, you can see the results in the application event log.

You can obtain diagnostics logging for the following services and components:

• Directory
