IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.

SUMMARY
To assist in troubleshooting Exchange 2000 Server information store issues, you can enable information store logging. This writes verbose logging information to a Store.log file that is created in the Exchsrvr\Bin folder.

This logging is enabled by default in debug versions of the Store.exe file, but it is disabled in customer retail (RTL) versions.

MORE INFORMATION
To enable information store tracing capabilities in retail versions of the Store.exe file you need to add a new key to the registry.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT or Windows 2000, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

 Start the Registry Editor utility (Regedt32.exe). Locate the following key in the registry: On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value: Quit the Registry Editor.  Copy a version of the Store.ttd file to the Exchsrvr\Bin folder. This file contains the required tracing information. You can create the Store.tdd file; install the debug build of the Store.exe file, then enable the specific tracing that you require.

NOTE: The debug build of the Store.exe file is located at: "\\Laseretch\build numbersrv\Dbg\Usa\Setup\platform\Bin\Store.exe" For example, start the debug build of the Store.exe file from the command prompt, click Debug, click Trace Info, and then, under TAG Numbers, click to select the 1 and 2 check boxes. The information store creates a TTD file in the Exchsrvr\Bin folder.

You can also copy the TTD file from a different server. 

The information store begins to log the traces in the Store.log file in the Bin folder. You do not have to stop and restart the information store.
