asked on 2008 R2 Domain Controller - large log files filling up system32\LogFiles
I'm noticing some large log files are filling up C:\Windows\System32 on one of my domain controllers (a 2008 R2 DC).
Any easy way I can figure out what's spitting the log file there?
I can't open it because it's so large, unless there's another viewer I should try and use...?
There's no IIS running locally.
One of the log file names is "IN1602.log"

Wasn't sure how to find tied processes to Resource Monitor or Proc Explorer, disk activity didn't point to the log file when I checked, but I ran Unlocked on it and the process appears to be svchost.exe.

I used Unlocker to kill the process and I was able to delete the last .log file. Going to monitor a bit more. I don't see anything like performance monitor running any scheduled stuff.
I'm wondering if another server is writing to this path
