We have 100 servers that use the same IIS config file.
For the weblogs we specify C:\logfiles
We are running out of space locally, so we want to change C:\logfiles to a symlink which points to a different share for each computer:
I.E. On server1 C:\logfiles -> \\filer\share1
I.E. On server2 C:\logfiles -> \\filer\share2
IIS is unable to create its weblogs using the symlink and throws an error in event viewer: Unable to create log file C:\logfiles\W3SVC7980\u_ex12010510.log. Make sure that the logging directory is correct and this computer has write access to that directory.
This is not a permissions issue, the ISAPI filters we are running successfully write to C:\logfiles from the same site. I have also confirmed that if the symlink is to another physical path (C:\temp) it works file, it is only when the symlink is a network
share that it fails.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
