SUMMARY
For troubleshooting purposes, you may need to increase the logging used by the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Exchange 2000 Server, Exchange Server version 5.0, and Exchange Server version 5.5 connectors by using the Microsoft Exchange Connectivity Controller (MECC). These connectors include:

Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes

Microsoft Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise

Microsoft Exchange Calendar Connector



How to Enable Additional Logging for the MECC Connectors
 In Exchange System Manager, right-click the Exchange 2000 computer or the Exchange 2003 computer that is running the MECC Connector, and then click Properties. Click the Diagnostics Logging tab. On the Diagnostics Logging tab, click the appropriate object for the MECC Connector:

 For the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes, click LME-NOTES. For the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise, click LME-GWISE. For the Microsoft Exchange Calendar Connector, click MSExchangeCalCon.

NOTE: For GroupWise issues, the MSExchangeGWRtr object is also available.</li> Click the appropriate logging for the issue.</li></ol>

How to Increase the Logging to Verbose in the Registry for Exchange 2000
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

<ol> Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).</li> Locate the DEVCON_level value under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\System\CurrentControlSet\Services \MSExchangeCoCo\Parameters

</li> On the Edit menu, click DWORD, type 5, and then click OK.</li> Quit Registry Editor.</li></ol>

How to Increase the Logging to Verbose in the Exchconn.ini File for Exchange Server 5.0 and Exchange Server 5.5
<ol> Open the Exchconn.ini file in a text editor such as Notepad. By default, this file is located in the %HomeDrive%\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin folder.</li> On the Edit menu in Notepad, click Find. Type devcon in the Find what field. After the Find feature takes you to the [DEVCON] section of the Exchconn.ini file, click Cancel.</li> Increase the DEVCON level from 3 to 5. The final entry in the Exchconn.ini file should be:

;

[DEVCON]

level = 5


 * format =


 * name =


 * args =

</li></ol>

Where to Find the Logs
The events for the MECC Connectors are logged in the Application event log.

NOTE: If a %HomeDrive%\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Conndata\Logs folder exists, the logs are also saved here. The log file names are in the YYMMDDnn.log format. For example, for the first log of November 1, 2000, the log file name is 00110101.log. You can view these logs in a text editor such as Notepad or WordPad. You can also view these logs in the Logs Browser using %HomeDrive%\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin\Lsadmin.exe.
