In Exchange 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can use Information Rights Management (IRM) logs to monitor and troubleshoot IRM operations on Mailbox, Hub Transport, Client Access, and Unified Messaging servers. IRM logging is enabled by default.
IRM logs use the following common set of parameters:
- IrmLogEnabled Enables or disables IRM
logging. Default: $true
- IrmLogMaxAge Specifies the maximum age
of IRM log files. Files older than the specified age are deleted.
Default: 30 days.
- IrmLogMaxDirectorySize Specifies the
maximum size of the directory that contains IRM logs. When a
directory reaches its maximum file size, the server deletes the
oldest log files first. Default: 250 Mb.
- IrmLogMaxFileSize Specifies the maximum
size of each IRM log file. When a log file reaches the specified
size, a new log file is created. Default: 10 MB.
- IrmLogPath Specifies the location of
the IRM log directory. Default:
<Exchange 2010 Install path>\V14\Logging\IRMLogs.
To configure IRM logging for each server role, use the corresponding Set cmdlet. For example, to configure IRM logging on a Hub Transport server, use the Set-TransportServer cmdlet.
