Six of one, half-dozen of the other. GUI, or PowerShell - your choice. You move the files or Exchange does - your choice.
If you've never done it in the lab - I might recommend you use the GUI for it. Regards, Michael B.

It appears that the database created on the mailbox server is given some sort of unique name by Exchange. I would like to rename the database and keep it on the current drive. In addition, I would like to move the log files to a different drive. What is the best way to do this? Thanks for your help in advance!
