How to change location of errorlog in SQL?..

Answer / anwar hayat

To change the location of your log backup files, you have
to update whatever process is generating them. If it is a
Maintenance Plan then you can adjust it inside the
Maintenance Plan properties. To change the location of the
SQL Agent log, expand the SQL Server Agent Node in SSMS,
right click the ErrorLogs folder and click Configure, and
change the path there. Or you can do it with TSQL:
Code Snippet
USE [msdb]
GO
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_set_sqlagent_properties
@errorlog_file=N'D:\Srvapps\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1
\MSSQL\LOG\SQLAGENT.OUT'
