How to Enable Logging for IIS SMTP Server in Windows Server

Submitted by ingram on Thu, 11/01/2012 - 6:17pm

If you have the SMTP feature installed (an SMTP server that works through IIS), logging is not enabled by default. To enable logging, perform the following steps:

Click on Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager. Expand your SMTP server and right click on your SMTP Virtual Server. Choose Properties:

IIS_SMTP_Server_Enable_Logging_1

 

Check "Enable logging" and click on Properties:

IIS_SMTP_Server_Enable_Logging_2

 

The log file directory is where the logs will be stored. In this case, it is C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\SmtpSvc1\exyymmdd.log. Click on the Advanced tab to configure logging:

IIS_SMTP_Server_Enable_Logging_3

 

For the most detailed logging, check everything and click ok:

IIS_SMTP_Server_Enable_Logging_4

Logging is now enabled.

Fix for Error 1363 - Could Not Start the World Wide Web Publishing Service on Local Computer

If you try to start or restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service on a Windows Server 2003 system with IIS 6 and you get this error, here is the fix for it.

Error 1363 - Could Not Start the World Wide Web Publishing Service on Local Computer

"Could not start the World Wide Web Publishing Service service on Local Computer.

Error 1363: Cannot start a new logon session with an ID that is already in use."

Open a command prompt and type this command:

regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Now reboot the server and the problem is fixed. In our case, this happened after virtualizing a server and using a different NIC after it had been virtualized.
