The default log file location is C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles. This location should be
changed, ideally to a separate partition, because an active RADIUS server can generate
large amounts of log data. Click Browse to select a new location to use for accounting
logs.
If you want users to be able to connect even if there is a problem with accounting,
clear the If Logging Fails, Discard Connection Requests check box.
