To determine the current EventLevel of a given component, use Get-EventLogLevel followed by the

name of the component category, or the name of the specific component. For example, to display the

current diagnostic level for the

Autodiscover category, use the following command:

[PS] C:\ > Get-EventLogLevel “msexchange autodiscover”

Identity EventLevel

-------- ----------

msexchange autodiscover\Core Lowest

msexchange autodiscover\Web Lowest

msexchange autodiscover\Provider Lowest

Notice that the name of the category is encapsulated in quotes because it contains spaces. There are three

components under the Autodiscover category:

Core , Web , and Provider . To display the EventLevel of

an individual component, use the full identity (category name\component name) as input to

Get-EventLogLevel .

There are five levels of diagnostic logging set by

EventLevel : Lowest , Low , Medium , High , and Expert

. Lowest is the default level for all components after installation of Exchange Server 2007. To change the

EventLevel setting for a given component, use Set-EventLogLevel followed by the name of the

component plus the

Level parameter followed by the EventLevel setting.

For example, to set

EventLevel on component “msexchange autodiscover\Core” to High , use the

following command:

[PS] C:\ > Set-EventLogLevel “msexchange autodiscover\Core” ...
