SBS 2008 Huge IIS Logs ... should I be worried?
I have an SBS 2008 server supporting a network of 5 clients. I recently noticed that I was just about out of disk space on the C drive which surprised me!
On further investigation I found the log files folder for the IIS "WSUS administration" site was huge. Every day a log file of about 200Mb is being created!
Should this be a cause of concern for me?

Thanks for your comments! I am happy enough about deleting the logs, I am more concerned about the rate that they are accumulating. 200Mb of log text per day sounds rather large ... and I being hacked? What should I look for in the logs?

logs increase depend on the task done on the site... some sites newer produce 200MB log in a year while some sites do produce that in a day as your case..
Searching the contetnt of log is not my experience.. so I cannot help you in this context..

I'm concerned that 200Mb per day is too high for such a small site as mine (basically my house!)
i would recommend that you get a log anayalser and run a days worth through it, to see what is be logged.....

Can you recommend a suitable app?
