In SBS 2008 we have centralized the location of log files, all log files will now be placed in C:Program FilesWindows Small Business ServerLogs.   From a support perspective this is a big plus in simplifying troubleshooting as you will always know where the log file will be located.  We have compiled a list of important logs and their associated wizards below.

Please note that you will also find many event log (*.evt) files in the SBS log directory.  These files are a snapshot of the event logs at the completion of the SBS install.  These are kept for historical purposes and for trouble-shooting installs.
