Hi System Admin - Exch

Can you share some more information on "security related logs"?

As to me, there aren't specific "security related logs" in Exchange.

For example, if you are looking for sign-in failure attempts, you can check Event Viewer>Windows logs>Security for event 4625, or check IIS logs for the sign-in request.

IIS log location: C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1

If you are looking for admin audit log or mailbox audit log, you can refer to below links:
