From: SP_1 on 21 Apr 2010 13:32 Hi This folder (C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MyExServer.log) has all the log files dating back to the time the server went into production. - Can some of these older files be manually deleted ? - How far back should they be kept ? - Is there a system setting that deals with the log files in this folder ? Thanks Steve
From: John Oliver, Jr. [MVP] on 21 Apr 2010 19:00 What are some of the log file names in this folder?

From: SP_1 on 21 Apr 2010 21:15 As of now, the folder has 1257 files. All files have .LOG extension. Filename is basically the date of log (ie. 20061113.log being the older file, 20100421.log being the latest file). The server is Exchange 2003 (v. 6.5.7638.1) Below is the heading in every log file. # Message Tracking Log File # Exchange System Attendant Version 6.5.7638.1 # Date Time client-ip Client-hostname Partner-Name Server-hostname server-IP Recipient-Address Event-ID MSGID Priority Recipient-Report-Status total-bytes Number-Recipients Origination-Time Encryption service-Version Linked-MSGID Message-Subject Sender-Address Thanks Steve "John Oliver, Jr. [MVP]" <jcoliverjr(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:70DA84E1-120C-4EF0-989F-56406985AF70(a)microsoft.com... > What are some of the log file names in this folder?

From: John Oliver, Jr. [MVP] on 21 Apr 2010 21:53 Ah, Message Tracking Log files. You can turn this off or just adjust the log files to be deleted automatically after x days.

From: SP_1 on 22 Apr 2010 20:14 Thank you very much for the helpful link. I applied the setting yesterday, and today the folder just freed up 25GB of dormant space. For our server, it's 10%. Right on! Steve "John Oliver, Jr. [MVP]" <jcoliverjr(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:Oq5%23A5b4KHA.4016(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Ah, Message Tracking Log files.
