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.
