Hi All,

while i was looking the Event viewer in one of my MS CRM 2011 instance, i got the below error message in event viewer

Invalid Trace Directory. Additional Info:[ Unable to Write file , Trace directory not defined (Reporting Process:File Name is Null. LocalTraceSettings: {Filename:  ,FileCountSuffix:1 ,TraceFileSize:10485760 ,TraceDirectory: ,TracingCallStack:Yes ,IsTracingOff:No ,LoadState:LoadSuccessfulUnreported ,RefreshTraceInt:-1 ,SiteWideRefreshTraceInt:-1 ,RegistryRefreshTraceInt:-1} ] , AppDomain:CrmAsyncService)

this means the trace directory is nto available.

so set the directory by following the below commands

open the windws power shell in admin mode

run the below commands...

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell

Get-CrmSetting TraceSettings

$setting=Get-CrmSetting TraceSettings

$setting.Directory=”C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Trace” (this is the directory that u want)

Set-CrmSetting $setting

Get-CrmSetting TraceSettings
