For what ever reason you may have at some point in the life of your server you will need to increase the default logging level.
To start with, if you have come from Exchange 2003 you may be in for a bit of a surprise in that this is not set any where in the GUI. Those of you who have been using Exchange 2007 for a while will probably not be overly surprised by this :)
OK to start with lets have a look at what areas we can change the logging levels and what they are set to initially.
To do this open the EMS and type
Get-EveventLogLevel
Which will produce the following output
Identity EventLevel

So as you can see we can go into some fairly fine detail as to what exactly we want to increase or decrease.
To change the logging level of say MSExchangeSA\OAL Generation we would type the following into the EWA
Set-EventLogLevel –Identity “MSExchangeSA\OAL Generation” –Level <Lowest,Low,Medium,High,Expert>
If you want to do a bulk change to say of of the Information Store events then here is what you need to type into EMS
Get-EventLogLevel –Identity “MSExchangeIS\*” | Set-EventLogLevel –Level High
We can see the results of tis command below
