Moving DBs to new location via powershell
Chaps, Is there a way to move the mailstore DBs in exchange 2007 to a new location via the powershell? We need to schedule a transfer in the small hours of a Saturday morning and I figure that powershell is the best way, if possible, of doing it.

Hi Olly, You should be able to do this with the move-storagegrouppath cmdlet. i.e. move-storagegrouppath -identity "SG1" -LogFolderPath:"d:\newsgpath" -SystemFolderPath:"d:\newsgpath" -force (this stops it prompting you to confirm) Regards Phil _ From: Oliver Marshall [mailto:oliver.marsh...@g2support.com] Sent: 04 June 2009 10:19 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Moving DBs to new location via powershell Chaps, Is there a way to move the mailstore DBs in exchange 2007 to a new location via the powershell?

Oops, should end with -Force -Confirm:$False otherwise it will still prompt you!

RE: Moving DBs to new location via powershell
And of course I've left the databases behind so you'll also need Move-DatabasePath -Identity "Storage GroupName\Database name" -EdbFilePath:"F:\Storage Groupspath\Database name\dbname.edb" -Force -Confirm:$False.
