Hi All, I enabled the pipeline tracong on an HT server and I have an issue removing it. I disabled it with Set-TransportServer <Identity> -PipelineTracingEnabled $False After that I removed the "MessageSnapshots" folder but I can't remove the "RulesTraching" folder since the .LOG file in there is being used. Should I stop the HT service to remove that file/folder ? Is that expected (I don't think so) ? It's an EX2007 environment

Hi Can you monitor the log file when you set “Set-TransportServer Server1 -PipelineTracingEnabled $False”? Does it continue to increase? If you just want to remove the folder, you can change the pipeline tracing log location to achieve your aim. “Set-TransportServer Server1 -PipelineTracingEnabled $False” “Set-TransportServer Server1 -PipelineTracingPath "C:\Pipeline Tracing Logs" “Set-TransportServer Server1 -PipelineTracingEnabled $True” If the log is created in C:\Pipeline Tracing Logs, you can run “Set-TransportServer Server1 -PipelineTracingEnabled $False” again. I believe you delete origin "RulesTraching" folder.

The log file in the folder will, I think, remain active for the entire day. You should be able to delete the log file in the folder tomorrow. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
