VMware Site Recovery Manager Service installation logs
Today I ran into a problem installing Site Recovery Manager 4.0 update 1 where it would attempt to start the service and fail. The error message told me to check the server logs but I could not find any documentation on where these would be. Luckily I ran across this blog entry which details the location of the installation logs:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Site Recovery Manager\Logs
I have no idea why VMWare would choose to put these logs in this odd location but once you are there you can quickly determine why the service is not starting. My problem was with SQL Server authentication which I was quickly able to correct and get the service to start properly.
