Same here. Haven't used the commands a lot yet but I might fire up the
readme. Seems like a good project.
I can't believe the size of the SMTP logs on Exchange 2010, so I was
actually looking for a solution too. This looks just as good as SyncBack,
and free.
Thanks for sharing.
Be aware - Exchange is self-limiting. By default, Exchange only keeps around 30
days of logs and will automatically trim them. If you change the file extension
you'll break the automatic trimming.
(Now, if you need to keep the logs, then that's something else entirely)

Michael B.
It will trim the SMTP Transport logs? I had no idea. (I haven't had them

I have always kept the logs when I was on 2003, I'll probably just keep

While the discussion of IPv6 is in play.
Just wanted to put this out there to start a discussion. see what others

When we initially configured our Gold build for Windows Server 2008, the
decision was made to disable the following on all network adapters:
I would imagine the registry section for that app lists a source file

None of these are true:
* Conservation of system resources (CPU, memory)
* Smaller footprint, smaller code base, etc
* Newer code, more likely to be exploited in the near future
