Set IIS data import options.
This option can be globally set for an entire group of servers using the Set Import Options Globally option of the Tools menu.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Import IIS Data (managed by <Console>) | This check box is automatically selected once the server has been selected using the Import IIS Data option. This option indicates to which console this server has been assigned. Note: IIS data import is not possible from Exchange 4.0/5.x servers. |
IIS log files location | The IIS log files location is the directory where Exchange stores IIS log files. You may need to replace administrative share paths by a specific share path that your PROMODAG account can access. A specific account can be set for that purpose in the Security tab. It is possible to copy IIS log files to a local drive and change the default shared location set in Promodag Reports to that local path.The default shared location for IIS log files when installing Microsoft Exchange Server depends on the version you are using, see Configuring the Internet Information Services data source . |
Click the Import history button to view a list of imports already completed for the selected server. For more information about this option, see IIS log file import history. | |
Next import date | This is the Server default date displayed in the Import IIS Data dialog box. Change this date if you have more than one Exchange server, and want to import data starting from different dates in one single shot. For more information about this option, see Import IIS Data. |
Select the relevant check boxes to define the type of IIS events you wish to import.
Event type | Description | Imported by default |
---|---|---|
Mailbox Access (<virtual directory name>) | If will not be possible to report on Outlook Web Access activity if these events are not selected. | X |
ActiveSync (<virtual directory name>) | If will not be possible to report on ActiveSync activity if these events are not selected. | X |
Note: These options will not be taken into account before the next import.
