WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.

The diagnostics logging information for the Microsoft Exchange OV/VM Connector is saved in the following location of the Windows NT registry (in the components key):

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LMS-PROFS

The Diagnostics subkey contains values for each of the logging categories. Each of these values has data of type REG_DWORD.

The following are the possible data values for each category:

0 - None
1 - Minimum Logging
3 - Medium Logging
5 - Maximum Logging

Each connector has a subkey named Diagnostics that holds the diagnostics logging information. Entries 1 through 5 correspond with the above settings on the Diagnostics Logging tab in the properties of the connector.
