Guest shawnpn Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 My IAS server is set to create its log files in C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles (the default location) and they are simply not there. Accounting, authentication, and status are checked to be logged, service has been started, etc. I am inplementing 802.1x security on my new Trapeze wireless network...needless to say, the lack of logs makes troubleshooting a problem. :) Thanks in advance for your help. Shawn
Guest Coraleigh Miller Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Re: IAS Log Missing Hi Shawnpn, The IAS logging is pretty simple, if you have a valid log location set and checkboxes checked, as you said you do, that is it. If your clients are not able to succesfully use IAS i would bet that its not even being contacted and so is unaware that anything should be logged. I would look closer at the path from the clients to the IAS server to make sure that it is continuous. Do your clients get any error message when they try and conect? Try checking this... "Users with 802.1x authenticated switch client connections with EAP or PEAP are not prompted to input credentials and cannot log on. Cause: The icon for the network connection must be displayed in the notification area on the client. Solution: Configure the network connection properties on the client so that the network connection icon is displayed in the notification area when connected. See also: Show a network connection icon in the notification area Cause: The switch is not configured to initiate authentication with an EAP-Request-Identity packet when it detects that a client is active on the port. Solution: Configure the switch to initiate authentication." http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/d2a1ffaf-cc01-4e00-a92e-336923302a501033.mspx?mfr=true Coraleigh Miller "shawnpn" <shawnpn@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CE30B4D6-64FD-4480-A671-FE8EACF4882E@microsoft.com... > My IAS server is set to create its log files in > C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles > (the default location) and they are simply not there.

Guest shawnpn Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Re: IAS Log Missing Coraleigh, Thank you for your response. My problem appears to be a combination of two items; Client requests not making it to IAS and a misunderstanding in regards to the logging. I thought that when checking "Accounting requests (for example, accounting start or stop)" it would log a message when IAS started or stopped. I though it would do this in addition to logging of an event in the event log (which was logged).
