Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 10

When examining the log files from a Windows IIS Web Server, how often is a new log file created?

Answer options

• A. the same log is used at all times
• B. a new log file is created everyday
• C. a new log file is created each week
• D. a new log is created each time the Web Server is started

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because by default, Windows IIS creates a new log file every day to manage log data efficiently. Option A is incorrect as the server does not use the same log continuously; option C is wrong since logs are not created weekly; and option D is also inaccurate because a new log file is not generated with each server start.
