KM Server Log Files

KM server log files are not configured for circular logging. Each KM server log file is approximately 1MB. When a log file reaches its size limit, a new log file is created. These log files are not automatically deleted. To manually delete KM server log files, periodically complete the following procedure.

1. In Control Panel, double-click Services.
2. Select the Microsoft Exchange Key Management Server service, and then choose Stop.
3. Run the Eseutil.exe utility with the command line switch /mh kmsmdb.edb to verify the consistency of your KM server database.
4. If Eseutil.exe indicates that the database is inconsistent, restart the Microsoft Exchange Key Management Server service and attempt to perform a clean shutdown again using the Services application in Control Panel.
5. Perform a backup of your database using Windows NT Backup. From the Start menu, choose Programs, choose Administrative Tools, and then choose Backup. Select the Kmsmdb.edb database, which is located in the Exchsrvr\Kmsdata directory.
6. Delete the .log and .chk files in the Exchsrvr\Kmsdata directory.
7. Start the Microsoft Exchange Key Management Server service using the Services application in Control Panel.
