Http.sys error logging for IIS 10.0, Windows Server 2016 core. Unable to change the Default HTTPERR log folder location.

[TechboyAmsterdam]

The Vendor Default is always active to log http.sys errors in Windows Server 2016 core, IIS 10.0 at "C:\windows\system32\logfiles\httperr".


The Registry Change Windows Server 2012 for IIS 8.5 for http.sys error log folder works fine but it does not work for Server 2016, IIS 10.0


To Monitor http.sys process log in Windows Server 2016 core the same settings do not work when the "ErrorLoggingDir" parameter is changed.



All the registry settings have been updated as below -


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters


ErrorLoggingDir : "D:\logs\HTTPERR"

EnableErrorLogging : 1

Is there a way to change or create the registry settings to change the http.sys errors log location in another folder since Windows Server 2016 core logs to Default inspite of registry changes and APPCMD.


I have looked around a lot of Blogs and IIS forums did not find a Solution to this Issue.


Any Directions are Sincerely Appreciated.
