I was about to say. If there is a drive use the exchange tools to move
the store off of the system partition. Also may sure your logs are
getting cleaned up (depending on how you are backing up)

Why would they put the store on the system drive? Because they didn't
under stand exchange real well.

You should be able to easily move the exchange databases with the
Exchange
Optimization Wizard.  It analyzes your setup and make recommendations as
to
where the files should live.

It is always wrong, but it is the easiest way to move the databases.
Simply
let it run through its paces, and then change the "New locations" to
what
you want rather than what it wants.

Then check the box that says "Move databases automatically" and voila!

There is already another drive on the server with plenty of free space.
Why
would the people who built this system put the store on the system
drive,
especially a small system drive, when there was plenty of disk space
available on another drive? =20

I guess my next question would be how do I create and Migrate?  Can you
point me in the right direction for some docs on this?

Thanks,

Can you add another drive to the server?  If so, you could create a new
=3D
store on the new larger drive and migrate you existing one to it.

It might also be worth your while to see who your space hogs are and =3D
send some polite emials to them asking them to archive old stuff and =3D
clear out deleted items etc.

Hello, I have a situation.  My Exchange 5.5 server has run extremely low
=3D
on
system drive disk space.  It consists of 2, 4.3 GB mirrored Compaq 1" =
=3D
Scsi
drives.  I only have 75 MB of free space left on the drive, and my =3D
Server is
of course not responding well.  I was thinking of somehow cloning the
information from the system drive to a larger drive but I am not sure =
=3D
that
will work.  This is the only email server for the company.  I am up for
=3D
any
and all suggestions, I am not sure how long this server will stay up.

Thanks in advance,
