Short fix until you get a new system setup.

How to: (As i know you will ask)
Checkpoint Solution


To redirect log files to another drive or path:

Windows NT/2000

1. Add to registry a new string value of FWLOGDIR under one of the following registry locations:

FireWall-1 4.1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\FW1\4.1


FireWall-1 NG and NGX:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\FW1\5.0


2. Create a new directory (for example C:\MyLogs) and define a String value named FWLOGDIR containing the log path (C:\MyLogs) under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\FW1\5.0

Note: The target path directory must exist prior to modifying the registry. In NGX, you should enter "6.0" in the path mentioned, instead of "5.0".


3. Reboot server.

Hi thanks but one thing in the point number 3 you ask the reboot the server, but how could we go for that as it is production server.

Again I am using Chekcpoint with alteon Boxes.
