Advanced Web Log Import Properties, Default Files Tab
A default file, also known as a directory index file or home page, is the Web page that users reach when they type a site URL that does not contain a specific file name in the Address box of their browser. For example, users reach the www.microsoft/default.htm page when they type either www.microsoft.com or www.microsoft.com/default.htm in the Address box of their browser. Web log files, however, count the two URLs as hits to two different pages.
Use this dialog box to ensure that the hit counts for unique users to your site default page are accurate, allowing for redirects and multiple versions of your URL name.
For more information, see Setting Web Log Default Files.

Notes
- After you configure default files, you must run the Configuration synchronization DTS task to synchronize your site configuration with the Data Warehouse before importing data into the Data Warehouse. For information about running the Configuration synchronization DTS task, see Running the Configuration Synchronization DTS Task.
- For non-Internet Information Services (IIS) servers, the default settings are Index.html, Index.htm, and Default.htm. If these settings are not correct for your site, change them to ensure that your request count will be accurate.
The following table shows the options and functions available on the Default Files tab in the Advanced Web Log Import Properties dialog box.
| Use this | To do this |
