SMS: Changes Are Irreversible When Logging Components to One File

ID: Q198737

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When logging is enabled for multiple Systems Management Server 2.0 components, and set to use one log file, you cannot reset the components to log in separate log files.

To allow multiple components to log to one file, open Service Manager and select the Components object. The components will be listed in the right pane. Select multiple components and click Logging. Click to select the Logging enabled check box, click the Use same file for all selected components check box, type the log file name, and then click OK. Logging is now enabled for the selected components and only uses the log file that you specified.

After logging is enabled in this manner, you cannot reset the selected components to log in individual log files. You can clear the Use same file for all selected components check box, but the change is not saved and logging continues to use the log file specified.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
