SUMMARY
When message tracking is enabled on a Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server computer, the tracking logs are written to the location Exchsrvr\ServerName.log. In this scenario Exchsrvr represents the folder in which Exchange 2000 is installed and ServerName is the host name of the Exchange server itself (for example, C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\ExServer1.log). These logs can increase in size, which depends on the message throughput and the function of a particular server in your environment. Because of this increase in size, you may want to change the location of the message tracking logs to accommodate the size requirements. Because a user interface doe not exist in Exchange System Manager to change the location of message tracking logs, this article describes how to manually apply this adjustment by using Active Directory Editing tools and Registry Editor.
