Here is the scenario. i have serverA, serverB and SERVERC(LOG FILE SERVER)
I need to redirect all the websites log files from serverA and ServerB to serverC. In IIS5.0 when you go into the logfile properties and try to change the patch to a mapped drive it clearly says mapped drives and UNC paths are not supported. But in winNT4.0 it is supported. So i go into the logfile properties on serverA and serverB and change the logfile path from %systemroot%\system32\logfiles to f:\logfiles(mapped drive to serverC) it accepts the path but records event id:2 cannot create folder and cannot write to drive errors. I looked it up and the article says that IIS will write logfiles with the logged on username meaning the account you use for iisadmin service account and if that account doesnt have rights on the path it will try and use the system account. When i go to serverA and serverB and look at the iis admin service it is using the system account and i am trying to change it to my account but the options are dimmed out meaning i cannot change the service account from system to m y user id. I tried this hoping that if i use my user id as the service account then my account has administrative rights on the log file server and i would be ok now that i cannot change the logon account my only option is to give the system accounts from serverA and serverB administrative rights on serverC but i cannot find the system account in user manager for serverA and serverB. I have looked on my pdc and bdc and i can see the system account but on my serverA and serverB which are member servers i dont see the system account, if i can see the system account on serverA and serverB then i can add them to the administrators group on serverC but i dont even see them...
