Network Security Administrator (NSA, legacy) — Question 13

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: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the IIS Web Server typically uses a single log file continuously until it is manually rotated or configured to do otherwise. Options B, C, and D suggest that new log files are created on a regular schedule or upon server restart, which is not the default behavior of IIS logging.
