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. <br />
I'm wondering if another server is writing to this path

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