Maximum size of the log file
This setting specifies the maximum permitted size for the Profile Management log file, in bytes.
By default, this value is set to 1048576 bytes (1 MB).
Citrix recommends increasing the size of this file to 5 MB or more, if you have sufficient disk space. If the log file grows beyond the maximum size:
- An existing backup of the file (.bak) is deleted
- The log file is renamed to .bak
- A new log file is created
The log file is created in %SystemRoot%\System32\Logfiles\UserProfileManager.
If this setting is not configured here, the value from the .ini file is used.
If this setting is not configured here or in the .ini file, the default value is used.
Path to log file
This setting specifies an alternative path to save the Profile Management log file.
By default, this setting is disabled and log files are saved in the default location: %SystemRoot%\System32\Logfiles\UserProfileManager.
The path can point to a local drive or a remote network-based drive (UNC path). Remote paths can be useful in large distributed environments but they might create significant network traffic, which might be inappropriate for log files. For provisioned, virtual machines with a persistent hard drive, set a local path to that drive. This setting ensures that the log files are preserved when the machine restarts. For virtual machines without a persistent hard drive, setting a UNC path allows you to retain the log files. However, the system account for the machines must have write access to the UNC share. Use a local path for any laptops managed by the offline profiles feature.
If a UNC path is used for log files, Citrix recommends that an appropriate access control list is applied to the log file folder. This setting ensures that only authorized user or computer accounts can access the stored files.
If this setting is not configured here, the value from the .ini file is used.
If this setting is not configured here or in the .ini file, the default location %SystemRoot%\System32\Logfiles\UserProfileManager is used.
