SYMPTOMS

Log analysis tools such as Microsoft Site Server Analysis may import Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 logs incorrectly.

Back to the top

Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 log records are comma delimited. Any fields containing commas in the field, such as a URL string or user agent string, can case analysis tools to detect a part of the field as a separate field. This is because Proxy Server logging does not replace commas in a field as it should.
