Objective 5.5: Configure logging.
You need to know how to use protocol logging to log the SMTP communication between email servers that occurs as part of message delivery. You should know that this traffic is called SMTP ______ and that it occurs on Send connectors and Receive connectors configured on Hub Transport or Edge Transport servers.
conversations
The exam might test that you know that protocol logging is ______ by default and is enabled or disabled on a per-connector basis, and that the Receive connectors (and the Send connectors) on a Hub Transport or Edge Transport server share the same protocol log files and protocol log options.
disabled
You can use the ______ cmdlet to configure the intraorganization Send connector.
Set-TransportServer
The following EMS command enables protocol logging for the intraorganization Send connector: ______.
Set-TransportServer –IntraOrgConnectorProtocolLoggingLevel Verbose
The following command disables protocol logging for the intra-organization Send connector, if this has previously been enabled: ______.
Set-TransportServer –IntraOrgConnectorProtocolLoggingLevel None
Note that you cannot use the ______ to enable or disable protocol logging for the intra-organization Send connector.
EMC
You can use the EMS ______ or ______ to enable or disable protocol logging on a Receive or Send connector, respectively.
Set-ReceiveConnector, or
Set-SendConnector
If you use the EMS, then, for example, the following command enables protocol logging for the Default VAN-EX2 Receive connector: ______.
Set-ReceiveConnector “Default VAN-EX2” -ProtocolLoggingLevel Verbose
The following command disables protocol logging for the Send connector MySendConnector: ______.
Set-SendConnector MySendConnector -ProtocolLoggingLevel None
The following command enables protocol logging for the intra-organization Send connector on the Hub Transport server VAN-EX1: ______.
Set-TransportServer –Identity VAN-EX1 –IntraOrgConnectorProtocolLoggingLevel Verbose
You can access a connector’s Properties dialog box in the EMC to change its location. You can also use the ______ cmdlet.
Set-TransportServer
Tthe following command moves the Receive connector protocol log directory to C:\ProtolcolLogs\Receive on the Hub Transport server VAN-EX1: ______.
Set-TransportServer –Identity VAN-EX1 -ReceiveProtocolLogPath C:\ProtocolLogs\Receive
The following command moves the Send connector protocol log directory to C:\ProtolcolLogs\Send on the same server: ______.
Set-TransportServer –Identity VAN-EX1 -SendProtocolLogPath C:\ProtocolLogs\Send
You cannot use the connector Properties dialog box in the EMC to set the maximum size of Receive connector and Send connector protocol log files, you must use the ______ cmdlet.
Set-TransportServer
The following command sets the maximum size of Receive connector protocol log files to 15 MB on the Hub Transport server VAN-EX1: ______.
Set-TransportServer –Identity VAN-EX1 -ReceiveProtocolLogMaxFileSize 15MB
To set the maximum size of Send connector protocol log files to 20 MB on the Edge Transport server DEN-EDGE1, you would enter the following command: ______.
Set-TransportServer –Identity DEN-EDGE1 -SendProtocolLogMaxFileSize 20MB
Store logging provides a database ______ mechanism.
recovery
Exchange store logging, or transaction logging, is an Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) recovery mechanism designed to restore an Exchange database to a ______ state after any sudden stoppage. The logging mechanism is also used when creating and restoring online backups.
consistent
The exam might expect you to know that diagnostic logs such as agent logs can be configured with one of five logging levels: ______.
- Lowest (the default),
- Low,
- Medium,
- High, and
- Expert.
You should, however, be aware that protocol logging has only two logging levels: ______ and ______. Changing the diagnostic logging level for a given process can cause additional events to be written to the event log.
Verbose, and
None
You can use the EMC Manage Diagnostic Logging Properties Wizard to configure logging levels. You can also use the EMS ______ cmdlet.
Set-EventLogLevel
The following command changes the MSExchangeTransport\Agents logging level to High: ______.
Set-EventLogLevel -Identity “MSExchangeTransport\Agents” -Level High
You need to know how you can use agent logs to record actions performed on a message by specified anti-spam agents that you have installed and configured on an Edge Transport or Hub Transport server. The exam might ask about the following agents that can write information to the agent log: ______.
- The connection and content filter agents
- The edge rules agent
- The recipient and sender filter agents
