Turning logging on or off in Entourage 2008, Web Services Edition

Show All

Microsoft Entourage 2008 for Mac, Web Services Edition, provides the option to turn on logging for certain Entourage features, such as the following:

  • Autodiscover service

  • Exchange (folder and itemA general term that includes mail messages, contacts, calendar events, notes, and tasks in Entourage. synchronization)

  • Exchange Calendar

  • LDAPAn acronym for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, a protocol that provides access to Internet directories. transactions between Entourage and Microsoft Exchange Server

After the log file is sent, Microsoft Product Services uses it to identify issues. If you are a messaging server administrator, you can use the information in the log file to diagnose issues that can help you troubleshoot.

The log file contains the following information:

  • Issues when users send or receive e-mail messages, calendar items, notes, tasks, and meeting requests.

  • Type or severity of errors, if known.

Note The log file might also contain user information. This includes user name, sender and receiver’s e-mail addresses, and the contents of a user’s e-mail messages, notes, tasks, calendar, and contacts. Microsoft does not use this information to contact users without their consent. If a user is concerned that the data file contains sensitive or confidential information, he or she can review the contents of the data file by using text-editing software and remove the information from the file before the data file is sent to support professionals.

Turn on logging

  1. On the Entourage menu, click Preferences.

  2. On the General tab, select the Enable logging (troubleshooting) check box, and then click OK.

    When logging is turned on, (Logging Enabled) appears on the Entourage title bar.

    Notes

    • Data files that have the name Microsoft Entourage_Troubleshooting_0.log are saved on the desktop.

    • Entourage does not include authentication information in the data files.

    • Entourage appends new log entries to the data file until the file is either moved or deleted.

Turn off logging for individual features

Entourage logs events for the features that are listed in the following table. If you are troubleshooting calendar issues, you can turn off logging for the other features in /Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Entourage.psslogging.plist. By default, this file is not generated. You must create this file and then set the value to false for the specific feature that you want to turn off. The following table lists the Entourage logging features and the command to use to disable logging for a specific feature.
