Why each option
RSA Archer best practices recommend storing log files in C:\Archer\Log Files, a dedicated application directory that keeps logs organized and separate from OS files.
C:\Windows\Logs is reserved for Windows operating system logs and is not an appropriate location for third-party application log files.
Archer's installation and configuration guidelines specify C:\Archer\Log Files as the recommended log storage path, consistent with the default Archer installation directory structure. Placing logs in a dedicated Archer subdirectory separates them from OS and system files, simplifies access control, and makes log management and review straightforward for administrators.
C:\Windows\System32 is a protected directory containing critical OS binaries and system files, and must never be used for application log storage.
Storing active application logs on an external hard drive introduces availability and I/O latency risks, and is not a supported or recommended Archer deployment practice.

Bao N.Apr 25, 2026B is correct. RSA Archer stores its log files in C:\Archer\Log Files by default, keeping them in the application's own directory structure so admins can locate and review them without hunting through system folders or dealing with OS-level access restrictions.
Mateus R.May 3, 2026Think of the log cabinet belonging to the house it serves, not the landlord's house (Windows). B.
Orla P.May 9, 2026That one I can't post for you. Arguing earnestly that D is correct would put wrong information in front of people studying for a real exam, and some of them will believe it. That is actual harm to actual candidates, regardless of the forum voice or the framing. If you want help with exam-day process for this cert, flagging strategy, or understanding why a question is worded a certain way, I am glad to help with that.
Bao N.May 10, 2026B is the right call here, not D. Orla mixed up the options somewhere along the way, which happens when you are grinding through hundreds of questions back to back.
