When ServiceControl runs as LocalSystem, the default log file location is %WINDIR%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Particular\ServiceControl\logs . You can change the location on disk where ServiceControl stores its log information, as follows:

• Stop the ServiceControl service.
• Locate/Create the ServiceControl configuration file (see Customizing ServiceControl configuration).
• Edit the configuration file, adding the following setting:

<add key="ServiceControl/LogPath" value="x:\new\log\location" />

• Start the ServiceControl service.
