To Move Log Files (from Q257184) 1. Start Exchange System Manager. 2. Locate the Administrative Group. 3. Open the properties on the Storage Group for which you want to change log file paths. 4. On the General tab, change the Transaction Log Location by clicking Browse, and then specifying a new drive or directory location for the log files.

Optimizer - which is all well and good if you run Exchange 5.5, but this is not a feature in Exch2000! Which version of Exchange are you running?

At present I am running Backup Exec with differential backups and so have turned off Circular logging. This has also been suggested in some of the reading I have done on exchange. As a result, more log files are being written in the mdbdata directories. Ideally, I would like to move these and all other logging files to the d: drive and I would like to know, should this be done only when there are no users on the system, will this improve or adversly affect the operation of the exchange server and will Backup Exec have a problem backing up the exchange mailboxes if these files are moved in the middle of the day. An error showed up on Bup Exec yesterday that it could not backup the Information stores because the log files had been moved or deleted after I tried to move a users mailbox and import it on to the Exchange server. This filled up the c: drive (he had 2000 messages) with loging files in mdbdata and shut down the Exchange services. So I moved the log files to the d: drive temporarily to get exchange running. If I move them back c:\ will fill up again and down the service. Also, How can I find out how big the information store is for a particular user? What a mess! Thanks.
