General DNS & Domains Dyn Email Update Clients Dyn Developer

Hi, I use Dyndns Updater 4.1.5 on Win2003 Server SE. In the configuration programm the log gets longer and longer every day. It now has more than 3800 lines (events since Jan/2009). I tried to export the log to a file but also this is not reducing the log lines in the DynDNS program window... making it hard for the programm to display all lines, it takes some minutes until all log lines are loaded in the window and the program window responses again. Is this a know issue and is a fix or workaround available? Thank you! Luigi01

You should be able to delete the log of any Update Client. These are definitely disk files, else they would not survive a program restart. Likely places are the program folder tree or the Application Data folder tree of the individual user or "All Users". In case you still can't find it, use the FileMon tool from Microsoft.

From what I've heard, it will be automatically cleared when it reaches a certain file size. The main purpose of such a feature is to avoid unlimited file growth (which eventually could fill the hard drive).

You can just clear the log file yourself if it's getting annoyingly large.

This is a known bug with the DynDNS Updater and should be fixed when the next version (probably 4.1.6) is released.

The new v4.1.6 has the same bug. There is no option to delete the log within the GUI. Is a workaround available by deleting a specific file on the harddisk? Which one? Thank you! Luigi

You may consider running the more advanced version 3.1.0.15 on servers. The newer but simpler versions 4.* are rather for clients, although the latest v4.1.6 is declared to be running on servers as well. However, when looking at it, I'm still not convinced this being good for servers.
