Where Can I Locate the DirSync Files?

MOSDAL stores the following files and folders in the DirSync folder of the MOSDAL Report.

NOTE: All files included in the DirSync folder are not described below:

• MA – Management Agent logs, containing information on how DirSync connects to the Active Directory. There are two entries; one hits the on-premise AD and the other connects to BPOS description. This information is part of the installer package.

• Registry – The sub-folder containing the registry keys is useful in determining whether the computer is connected to SQL Server or SQL 2005 Server Express.

• DS File Versions.txt – Identifies the DirSync version. Compare against download.microsoft.com to see if the user has the latest version.

• Dcdiags.txt – If support tools are installed, log files appear here.

• miissetup.log – Microsoft Identity Information Server (MIIS) setup log file. Look for “Installation operation completed successfully,” which verifies successful installation of MIS. MIS is the old name for Microsoft LifeCycle Manager (MLM).

• dirsyncSetup.log – DirSync installation and setup log.

• SyncServiceSetup.log – Look for “MSOnlineSyncScheduler has been successfully installed,” which confirms that DirSync is running every three hours.

• Export.txt – The MIIS synch log.

NOTE: MOSDAL captures DirSync installation or configuration errors. DirSync installation errors are captured in the dirsyncSetup.log and miissetup.log. DirSync configuration errors are displayed via pop-up or captured in the application event log.
