Setting directory service log levels

Active Directory® records events in the directory service log in Event Viewer. In Active Administrator®, you can run the Set directory service log levels job to set the log level in Active Directory. By default, Active Directory only records critical and error events (log level 0). As you increase the setting, more events are recorded for the event type, with log level 5 recording all events. If you select No Change, the current setting in Active Directory remains.

To set directory service log levels

Select Active Directory Health | Troubleshooter.

Open the Jobs tab.

Double-click Set directory service log levels.
4
Double-click the target to add it to the lower pane.
