Yep. BENT 8.x with the Exchange agent. But it appears it was only flushing the logs on Fridays. Well, last Friday's job didn't finish because it couldn't write the catalog to the drive (due to space). BENT shows the job as successful, but there's an entry in the app log about the catalog failure. That's what makes me think that's why it couldn't flush. I set the daily BU jobs to also flush, but it (apparently) didn't do this on Monday night. I'm heading back there to look at these possible causes/resolutions:

Exchange aware? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Pat Richard Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 9:03 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Flusing log files - almost out of space NT 4 SP6 (I think) Ex 5.5 SP4 - single org, site, server One problem led to many others. Drive with the log files (also the system drive) ran low on space, so the MTA stopped. I cleared some stuff off the drive to get up to 150MB. MTA started, and it's working. The disk space problem also caused BENT to not run correctly because it couldn't write the catalog to the disk (space was down to 7MB when I got there on Monday). I believe that this caused the Exchange logs to not get flushed. The logs now comprise 3GB of space (and growing). One successful backup has run since, but again, the logs aren't flushed. My question is (to refresh my memory)... Can I stop Exchange, copy the logs to another drive for archiving, then kill the originals, and restart Exchange? If I recall, it should recreate new log files, correct? (I'm making the assumption that the transactions in the logs are committed). It looks like the drive that the store is on has plenty of space (including enough to defrag the store, etc). All services are running fine. But obviously, I need to clear those logs, and want to make sure it's how I remember it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
