All, Win2k3 R2 SP2, patched, E2k3 SP2 patched.
C: - RIAD1 73gb OS only E: - RAID1 73gb Exchange Logs only F: - RAID1 300gb Exchange databases only All SAS 10k drives in a Dell 2950 with 3gb RAM E: and F: are filling up. I've purchased two 600gb SAS 15k drives from Dell and plan the following: o- Stop and set to manual the Exchange services. o- Copy the logs from E: to F: o- Change the the drive letter from F: to E: o- Remove the drives for E: from their trays and replace them with the 600gb drives, and label the new RAID1 drive as F: o- Move the databases from E: to F:, then start the Exchange services, go home and have a glass of wine. Am I missing anything? I want to make sure I don't have to make any registry adjustments for the disk change, or something silly like that. Also, separate but slightly related question: Currently, all of the mailboxes are in a single database, including the Message Journaling mailbox. I plan to break this out into at least three separate databases: 1 for Message Journaling, and two or more for individual's mailboxes. All three of the company's servers (AU, UK and US) journal to the US server. Question: Once I put the MJ mailbox in its own database, will I have to fiddle with things in ESM, or will all of the servers pick up the change? Thanks, Kurt
