Hi, Thanks for the reply. BTW are you familiar with this directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1?. Is it ok to delete the log files on this? Found out that those log files are the main reason why we are getting low disk space everyday. Can i just delete or transfer the log files on the other drive in our exchange server. Thanks

Yes, they just keep a log of who logs in and what pages they access. You can turn them off if you wish in the IIS Manager console in the properties of the default web site.

They can eat up a lot of space. I'm not sure how your server is set up, but they are usually located under the c:\windows/system32/logfiles directory.

You can redirect them to a drive with more space, but I usually only keep a month or 2 because they eat up disk space like crazy.
