That's the usual place, at least by default. You'll find that most CCNET tasks allow you to override the directory name and the file name, usually as separate properties of the task. > can I access that location > easily from a plugin? Yes. When your task's Run() method is called, it will be passed an IntegrationResult object (strictly speaking, an object implementing the IIntegrationResult interface), and you can look up the project's Artifacts directory name from the IntegrationResult 's ArtifactDirectory property, or locate a directory relative to it by calling the IntegrationResult's BaseFromArtifactsDirectory() method. Also I assume I need to merge the output into the build log so I can > then produce an XSL translation file to format it and include it in > the email message, is that easy to do also? Yes. Your task should create one of several kinds of task results objects (implementations of the ITaskResult interface) and add it to the IntegrationResult via the AddTaskResult() method. That also lets you do things like communicate the success or failure of the task, and influence the rest of the build accordingly. Ross
