Configuring IIS Logging on the Exchange ActiveSync Server

Before you can use the report pack, you must configure IIS logging on the Exchange server that has the ActiveSync role installed.

The report pack supports one IIS log per site and requires the following log file format:

•
W3C Extended Log File Format

You must configure the extended properties. The default configuration of IIS logging for the W3C Extended Log File Format is insufficient for the report pack to gather the information required for reports.

Since the report pack collects data from both the front-end web site (Default Web Site) and the back-end web site (Exchange BackEnd), you must set the logging configuration for the entire server. Use IIS Manager to configure the W3C Extended Log File Format on the Exchange ActiveSync server from which you want to gather data.

To configure IIS logging on Exchange server
1
Click Start and select Administrative Tools | Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
- OR -
In the Server Manager, select the Web Server (IIS) and open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

3
In the tree view, select the Exchange web server from which you are collecting data.
