Change Vault Server Log File Locations

You want to change the folder location of the ADMS, AVFS and vlog file generated by Vault Server. To do this, you must edit some .config files.

Before making any modification to the following files, ensure that you first make a copy.

To edit the config files, don't use a program that could change the format of the file, such as Microsoft Word. Instead, use a text editor such as Notepad, Notepad++ or Ultraedit (There are other text editors available, but these ones won't change the files format)
