  Referrer and User-Agent back in SP1? Reply Contact Hi! I heard somewhere that with Windows Server 2003 SP1 there would be the option to include the referrer and user-agent fields in binary logging. I just enabled binary logging on an SP1 test system here, and used LogParser to convert it to W3C; but the fields aren't included in the output file. So, which of the following statements is true - I heard wrong, fields cannot be included in binary logging. Never ever. MS will not do it. - They CAN be included, I just didn't set the metabase/registry key to enable it - They ARE included, but LogParser can't extract them. In case 1: Nooooohooo WHY, oh why?! I NEED those fields, and I WANT binary logging! PLEASE included it... *sniff* In case 2: Oh, okay, where are the settings? In case 3: How can I get the value of the fields then?   Very much hoping for !case1,   Thomas

  RE: Referrer and User-Agent back in SP1? Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer... Reply Contact Ok, here's the deal: The binary log format was NOT updated at all - it stayed as it was pre-SP1. HOWEVER, the W3C format has been enhanced to support a new "Centralized" setting, that allows you to specify that you want a single, centralized W3C log file across all your sites. When enabled, the ex*.log files are created in the \LogFiles\W3SVC folder. Does that help?

I don't insist on the binary, the centralized part is important for me. So, great! Thanks for the help! If tests go well and my boss approves, you helped close about 3000 file handles on about 30 servers Should be quite a speed gain, I hope! Me and our RAIDs will thank you forever
