Recurring Scheduled task - prevent from overwriting log.
Exch 2003, Outlook 2003.
When you create a task that recurs, the name of the task on the Schedule tab becomes the log file. Is there a way to prevent the log file from overwriting each time it kicks off? Are any variables allowed in this field? i.e %date% or %time% . I realize those two DOS variables would have illegal characters for file names, but does Xtender have it's own type like %D or %T?

You can set the option to append to the log instead of overwriting it. Keep in mind that depending on the different types of error logging, the logs can become very large. Hope this helps
Kind regards,

I don't think this is possible with EX. Probably the best way is to use a script to move the logs to another location.
In our environment we check the logs (8 tasks) daily, and move/zip the logs every month.

Would it be possible to share the basic script you use to do that work to delete or zip, etc. the log files ?
Thanks.

We don't use a script for the zip/move action.
Kind regards,
