Iis – Advanced Logging missing from IIS 8 on Windows Server 2012

iisiis-8windows-server-2012

I have just installed the features in IIS 8 for Health and Diagnostics in order to enable Advanced Logging in IIS. There should be an Advanced Logging icon that appears in IIS Manager, but there is none. Other logging features I added such as Enabled Failed Request Tracing are working without any problems.

Also, I checked in %windir%\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\schema for evidence of an Advanced Logging schema, but there is none.

Any suggestions for how I can get this running?

IIS Advanced Logging is an out of band module. You must install it using Web Publishing Installer or you can download it here.
