SUMMARY
This article describes how to change the level of Certificate services logging on Windows Server 2003 to increase or decrease the sensitivity of events that will be recorded in the Application event log. This may be useful for troubleshooting purposes.



MORE INFORMATION
You can increase the logging level of the Certificate service in the event log for troubleshooting. This causes Certificate services to log more frequent and verbose Application Event log entries.
