Author W3C Centralized Logging - from Multiple Servers

It seems this new feature in w2k3sp1 allows for writing log files on 1 IIS
6.0 server to 1 location, can it write log files from MS Network Load
Balanced servers to a single network location?

Thanks,
Dan Foxley

I have never tried this but you can use the UNC path of the first server (in
the second server) to write the logs so that both the logs are written in the
same server. You can define where you want to store your logs in the IIS
properties. Only thing you have to worry about is the permission/security.
You have to run your IIS web server using a Domain account (not the local
iusr_machine" account) which shoudl be set to have permission to both the
servers.

Correct. The IIS6 feature is to simply pool all log entries from all
websites on one machine into one location (instead of one log file directory
for each website).

There is no feature to consolidate/synchronize log files from multiple
machines into one logical log file. Log analysis packages are best suited
for doing such data processing.
