Is it possible to collect old Exchange tracking logs from a centralized location?
Description

Is it possible to collect old Exchange tracking logs from a centralized location?
Resolution

1. In the centralized location create a root folder and then subfolders named after Each exchange server.
Example:
\\ServerA\logs\exchange1
\\ServerA\logs\exchange2
\\ServerA\logs\exchange3
2. Copy your historic Mailbox and Hub Transport MessageTracking logs to their respective folder.
3. Within UCCS Provide this centralized location (\\ServerA\logs\) for the tracking log data collection in UCCS.
Note:
If due to wan bandwidth you needed to enable tracking log compression on each Exchange server you could write a batch file or powershell script that would compress the MessageTracking logs and copy them to the share for that server in the central location on a set schedule. (\\logs\exchange1).
