Sorry, it's windows 2000 running exchange 2000 standard small edition :) For Troup Bywaters + Anders Tim Sutton T: +44 (0) 113 243 2241 F: +44 (0) 113 242 4024 E: t.sutton@xxxxxxxxxx W: www.TBandA.com Eastgate House 10 Eastgate Leeds LS2 7JL Office Location Map -----Original Message----- From: Spencer Read (Nemesis) [mailto:ser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 31 March 2005 14:11 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [P-ST-SPAM] [exchangelist] RE: Edbs on external hdd Importance: Low http://www.MSExchange.org/ What Windows version and Exchange Version? - USB on NT4??????? From what I remember you don't have to dismount anything in 2000 and 2003, just right click on the mailbox store in ESM and browse to the new location. ...Spence -----Original Message----- From: Tim Sutton [mailto:T.Sutton@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 31 March 2005 13:59 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Edbs on external hdd http://www.MSExchange.org/ So, here's the situation: we're using a server that's so old I think my grandma could have had a hand in building it and my pda has more storage space... But I digress. Anyway, it's tiny and old and slow and there's no chance of getting it replaced any time soon. In fact it's going to be swapped for a "bigger one" from one of the London offices, but again I'm getting side tracked with office politics! As a stop gap we've decided that we're going to have to chuck an external hdd on it and move the edbs over to that. My questions run something like this: 1) what issues should I be keeping my eyes open for when using this USB hdd? 2) how tricky is it moving the edbs? I'm guessing it's just a case of dismounting the edbs and telling exchange to move the to the "new" drive. I'm worried I'm missing something here, so please feel free to comment. :D Cheers, all.
