SYMPTOMS
If you try to disable the logging of successful requests in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 by adding the registry keys that are listed in the &quot;More Information&quot; section of this article, the registry keys are not honored.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the ability to disable logging by adding registry keys is not included in IIS 6.0.

Only apply it to systems that are experiencing this specific problem. This hotfix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next Microsoft Windows Server 2003 service pack that contains this hotfix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the hotfix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services telephone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

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.  Start Registry Editor. Locate and then click the following registry key:

 Create a new DWORD value named LogSuccessfulRequests. Set the value.

A value of 1 enables the logging of successful requests. A value of 0 disables the logging of successful requests. Create a new DWORD value named LogErrorRequests. Set the value.

A value of 1 enables the logging of failed requests. A value of 0 disables the logging of failed requests.</li></ol>
