SYMPTOMS
The maximum default size of the Content Replication Server (CRS) log is 8 MB. This is hard-coded in version 1.0.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

This is limitation of MCIS 1.0. To increase the size of the log file, first install Service Pack 1 for MCIS 1.0, which will update Crsdll.dll. Then, create a registry value by doing the following:  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe or Regedit.exe as appropriate for your version of Windows NT). Go to the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CRS

  On the Edit menu, click Add Value and use the following entry:      Value Name: LogLimit Data Type: REG_DWORD Value:     size in bytes (default is 8388608 bytes)  Exit Registry Editor.  Stop and restart the CRS service by using Services in Control Panel or by doing either of the following at the command prompt:   Use the Net command:

Net Stop CRS Net Start CRS -or- <pre class="fixed_text">  Use CRS.exe:

CRS stop NOTE: allow sufficient time for the service to stop before you use the next command. CRS start </li></ol>
