Why can't you log to an ODBC datasource. This is not as performant as logging to a file.
IIS runs under the local system account. The documentation you are reading must be incorrect. A note on IIS Logging. This is a high performance asynchronous process. So entries are flushed to disk when processor cycles permit. ODBC logging will degrade performance on your server as it is more of a synchronous process and as such prone to locking. I suggest you write to disk and then use a perl script to merge the log files. --Felicity > 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.
