Sounds to me like you're simply looking in the wrong domain for the service account. I would assume that you have your resources in one domain and your users in another?

What it appears you are trying to accomplish is getting IIS to log everything to a mapped drive or UNC path - if your web sites are so high traffic as you claim, you wouldn't want to incur the network overhead of doing that. So then YOU SAID, and I quote "I am thinking of just writing them to the local disk and then copy them to the logfile server every night with a batch file before the webtrends prog runs to analyse the logs." I just pointed out that you don't need to write a batch file - which if you knew you didn't need to write a batch file, why did you say you would write a batch file. Yes, I have ideas. -----Original Message----- From: kanee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 3:55 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: IIS QUESTION dude read thw whole message before answering..not trying to be rude.....i know i dont need a batch file for web trends..if you read my entire problem you would have known what i was trying to accomplish, if you have any ideas for my problem i will appreciate it. thx -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Lundy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 3:44 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: IIS QUESTION Webtrends can simply retrieve the log files, you don't need to write a batch file. You might also want to move this discussion over to http://www.15seconds.com/listserv.htm, an IIS5 list where it is more on topic. Also, if this is a public website, I would not have them as member servers of your internal domain -----Original Message----- From: kanee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 3:39 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: IIS QUESTION i cannot take that risk that comes along with the odbc logging i thought about it, these are highly visible websites in my organisation and a lot of traffic.

This is not as performant as logging to a file. IIS runs under the local system account. The documentation you are reading must be incorrect. A note on IIS Logging. This is a high performance asynchronous process. So entries are flushed to disk when processor cycles permit. ODBC logging will degrade performance on your server as it is more of a synchronous process and as such prone to locking. I suggest you write to disk and then use a perl script to merge the log files. --Felicity > Here is the scenario. i have serverA, serverB and SERVERC(LOG FILE = > SERVER) > > I need to redirect all the websites log files from serverA and ServerB > = to serverC. > > In IIS5.0 when you go into the logfile properties and try to change > the = patch to a mapped drive it clearly says mapped drives and UNC > paths are = not supported.
