ERROR LOGS

  • The Gurus,

    I am having problem viewing the contents of error logs on SQL Server 2005 Express edition. I have both Standard and Express editions installed on different server. I am able to view the content of Error logs on the standard edition but unable to view the one on the express edition. There is a log file viewer in standard edition and this seems to be absent in express edition. Is error log viewing not allowed on express edition? Could anyone give me more information about this?

    Many thanks.

    Sahoon.

  • You can see the ERRORLOG file from the errorlog path usually will be

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG

    open the ERRORLOG file with notepad.

  • Thanks. I am able to do this but my question is why can't I be able to open it directly from SQL Server Express edition interface as I normally do with the SQL Server Standard edition.

    Once again, thanks.
