How do I view the Jenkins server console output on the local filesystem?

I'm using the Jenkins Active Directory plug-in and can't log in after several attempts. The error message says:

If you are a system administrator and suspect this to be a configuration problem, see the server console output for more details.

Where can I find the server console output (on the local filesystem)?

I presume that it is accessible from the Jenkins web pages, but since I can't log in, that's not much use. I can log in to the (Windows) server where Jenkins is installed - where are they on the server?

In more recent versions you can tail the logs under $JENKINS_HOME/support/all_[date].log. It outputs all relevant information when you're modifying settings on the Web console and such.

The console output you are looking for are not accessible from Jenkins. If you have installed Jenkins as a service, when that service is started three files are created in JENKINS_HOME: jenkins.err.log, jenkins.out.log, and jenkins.wrapper.log. The relevant ones for you are jenkins.err.log and jenkins.out.log. If you used the default location you can find them in C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins.
