Sounds right. If you want to be extra careful, you could change your transaction logging to another directory first.

(for what ever reasons).. I read this article that gave instructions on how to tell where the last log that was committed. The instructions are below. I want to run this by you'll before I do this. It is a valid thing to do? ********* How to manually (and safely) purge Exchange Server transaction logs To do this from a command line, go to the \Program Files\Exchsvr\bin directory on the server and run the following command: eseutil /mk "C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\E00.chk" (The quotes are important, as they delimit the full pathname for the file.) In the results returned you'll see these lines: LastFullBackupCheckpoint: (0x0,0,0) Checkpoint: (0x2,EC2,1C7) The first number in the "Checkpoint" entry -- 0x2 -- is a hexadecimal number that refers to the last checkpoint log. Therefore, any logs numbered E000001.log or earlier could be removed. If the checkpoint was 0x14C8, then logs numbered E0014C7.log or earlier could be removed.
