Title
How to create a unique naming convention for Switch Mailbox logs -
Description
This article provides an option for the naming of the log so that you are capturing the users name, workstation, and the time that the odmclient was run. -
Resolution
The example command from the odmclient Read Me file looks similar to the following.
odmclient.exe -Thumbprint F988B4414DD8958D1C288810E4DCFB9DD833718C -OdmUrl https://questodmprodireland.azurewebsites.net -LogFile
You can expand on the -LogFile and add a naming convention for the file so that files stored on the workstation or shared directory are more easily identifiable to the users running the odmclient.
The example below uses Windows variables to add the username, computer name, time (hours, minutes seconds), and date (month, day, year). This should ensure that every log entry is unique and no previous log will be overwritten.
-LogFile C:\SwitchMailbox\%USERNAME%_%COMPUTERNAME%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%%date:~10,4%_SwitchMailbox.Log
Example log file name created by the above command.
