SYMPTOMS
Log analysis tools such as Microsoft Site Server Analysis may import Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 logs incorrectly.



CAUSE
Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 log records are comma delimited. Any fields containing commas in the field, such as a URL string or user agent string, can case analysis tools to detect a part of the field as a separate field. This is because Proxy Server logging does not replace commas in a field as it should.



RESOLUTION
This problem is resolved in Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). For more information about Service Pack 1, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

238375 Proxy Server 2.0 Service Pack 1: List of Fixes



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Proxy Server 2.0.



MORE INFORMATION
Unsafe characters in record fields are now replaced with apostrophes.
