I'm following a thread in the newsgroups, actually I replied a few times about setting Logging options at a global level. Unlike previous versions of client OS's, Vista allows more than 1 site. One thing that I couldn't find was the Logging options in Vista IIS manager. I can set this with appcmd and manually set in applicationHost.config. There are 2 sections I could find, <system.applicationHost\log> section and under <sites/site/siteDefault> Here are some raw notes I had. I tried to clean up as best as possible. One of my favorite appcmd command is "appcmd set config -section:XXXX -? (XXXX represents what section)" This pipes out a list of properties for that section. It was a good evening digging into logging and Vista! Hope you find this useful.
Example 1
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd list config -section:log
<system.applicationHost>
<log>
<centralBinaryLogFile enabled="true" directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles" />
<centralW3CLogFile enabled="true" directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles" />
</log>
</system.applicationHost>
Example #2
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd set config -section:log -?
