Net Log
Purpose
The net log command displays or controls information about message
logging.
Syntax
net log [drive:path] filename | devicename] [/on | /off]
where
drive:path
Tells where the message log file is stored. Without a drive letter and path,
LAN Manager Enhanced assumes the file is stored in the LANMAN.DOS\LOGS
directory.
filename
Is the name of the message log file. When filename has a .LOG extension, type
only the name, without .LOG. By default, messages are saved in the
MESSAGES.LOG file.
devicename
Is the name of a device at your workstation that connects to a printer queue.
Devicename can be an LPT devicename (to print messages as they’re received)
or NUL: (to have no log file at all). If messages are printed, they are not saved in
the MESSAGES.LOG file.
/on
Starts message logging.
/off
Stops message logging.
To display information about message logging, type net log without
options.
Comments
Message logging is on by default when the Messenger service starts.
