QUERY: IIS5 log files growing bigger...I have a problem. My system C:\ was initially setup with 4GB. The
C:\Winnt\System32\Logfiles\ folder is over 500MB. I found out that everyday IIS generates a 5MB log file. What is the best way to cut down on log file size? How can I set up SQL Server Reporting? How can I ensure the log files are parsed before being deleted? Does SQL Server Reporting intelligently know what log files are parsed and ignores already parsed files? Would it be easier to simply change the location that IIS writes the log
files to? (i.e. to another partition or disk that has more space)? That would alleviate the immediate issue, then we can look at the SQL Server reporting issue.

since google didn't give me any results on anyone getting it working. So yes I changed the Logfiles folder to another partition.

how I can create a job with that? Do you mean a scheduled task? Show quote "Greg D.
