How to Specify How Frequently Log Files are Removed

  • Article

 

If you allow log files to accumulate on the server, they can consume a large part of your disk space and may affect performance. It is a good idea to review and remove log files periodically. This procedure outlines how to specify how frequently you want to remove log files from the server.

Before You Begin

Make sure to leave log files on the server long enough for you to review files if a problem occurs with the message flow. As an additional step, you can move log files to another disk that has the bandwidth to handle larger log files.

Procedure

To specify how frequently log files are removed

  1. In Exchange System Manager, right-click an Exchange server, and then select Properties.

  2. On the General tab, select Remove log files.

  3. In the Remove files older than (days) text box, type the number of days that you want the files to remain on the server before being deleted.
