Have you learned nothing from the replies? Don't manually move the log files. EVER. The Exchange Optimizer will move them for you. Safely. It has to stop the services first before moving them. This way, Exchange knows where the old log files are in case you need to perform a restore and roll-back the log files (so you don't lose any mail).

If your server does not have room to hold all of its transaction log files (on any partition) and if you can not back it up, and you want to avoid filling up the partition containing the log files, you can stop the services, move the (no longer needed) log files elsewhere and restart the services. (I've done it without any problem many times in the lab and a few times in a production environment.) You later run the backup when it's available. Keep all the log files, though, as you may need them if you have a crash. No one said do this carelessly. Do this if you have no alternative. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
