If your SharePoint 2010 Log files are of zero byte i.e. SharePoint is unable to record the Log information then perform the following steps to resolve it
- Make sure the login account of “Windows SharePoint Services Tracing V4” is member of Local Administrators group.
- Make sure you have restarted the “Windows SharePoint Services Tracing V4” service after performing step 1.
This happens in 2007 as well, I changed the service to run as local system on my dev box and my log files returned…Joys of Sharepoint!
Grrr , this worked!
