IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.

SUMMARY

A diagnostics setting is available for Events Service but is not accessible through the Exchange Administrator User Interface. When set, this diagnostics setting will provide additional diagnostics information through the Application Log of the Event viewer.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

To change the diagnostics setting for the Events Service:

  1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).


  2. Locate the Logging Level value under the following key in the registry: 
    
KEY_LOCAL_Machine/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/MSExchangeES/Parameters


  3. Highlight Logging Level in the right-hand window.


  4. On the Edit menu, click DWORD, type 5, and then click OK. (You can also double-click on Logging Level to edit the value.)


  5. Quit Registry Editor.
