Considerations
After installing the Fix Pack a new message entry is available in the HostServer.logging.config file:
<Message MsgID="64020" Severity="Error" Category="64" Name="SharePointGroupProviderSyncEngineMessage">{0}</Message>
The Severity will be set to “Error” by default. If you do not want the errors to be logged in the Host Server log file, you need to set the Severity to “Info”. In the HostServer.logging.config file, search for message ID 64020 and change the Severity as below:
<Message MsgID="64020" Severity="Info" Category="64" Name="SharePointGroupProviderSyncEngineMessage">{0}</Message>
