ISA server logs

[krisd32]

just a quick one.

is it ok to delete the isa server log files located in
c:\program files\microsoft isa server\isalogs\

just found that they are taking up rather alot of space and could really do to get rid of them if possible.

i know they are only log files just wanted to make sure first before i do anything!

cheers

You can delete them with no issues. ISA is set by default to delete log files after a set amount of time anyway

But you might want to make sure you keep a certain amount of time for legality reasons.
You're meant to be able to find out what your students were looking at to make sure you're keeping them safe.

i've also got surfcontrol on the same box which i presume keeps everything in its own database?

just had a securus box put in today for a trail so far very impressed, simple to roll out (very small msi package) i'll let you alll know how it goes

many thanks

I don't know to be honest, isn't there different versions of SurfControl? A Stand-alone and an ISA plugin?

I'd think the stand-alone would keep it's own logs and the ISA plugin would use the ISA ones. Pure speculation though to be honest.
