Exchange - Enable Protocol Logging

on

Recently had an issue where I had to enable protocol logging on some Exchange 2013 Edge servers to trace failed SMTP connectivity from EOL / Office 365.

 Check that logging isn't already enabled:

 Get-ReceiveConnector | Format-List Name,ProtocolLoggingLevel

Enable Logging on the receive connector:
Set-ReceiveConnector "Default internal receive connector SERVER01" -ProtocolLoggingLevel Verbose

Check that logging is enabled:

Get-ReceiveConnector | Format-List Name,ProtocolLoggingLevel

Disable Logging on the receive connector:

Set-ReceiveConnector "Default internal receive connector SERVER01" -ProtocolLoggingLevel None


 The log files can be found in their default location:

 D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Edge\ProtocolLog\SmtpReceive
