The error message is a little bit misleading. You can only specify log =
file
directories which are located on the local machine, if you use the
<Drive>:\<DirectoryPath> syntax. To specify remote log file directories, =
you
MUST use the UNC syntax ( \\<Computer>\<Share> ).
In addition, you must assign an administrative account to the 'Syslog
Service', instead of the default Local System account.
