If you can get to System Manager, here is where to change it: System Manager |--Servers |----[SERVERNAME] |---First Storage Group Right click on 'Mailbox Store' and switch to the 'Database' tab. The 'Exchange database' and 'Exchange streaming database' locations are where your information store is stored. If you move one step up and right click on 'First Storage Group' and choose properties, you can choose where to put the 'Transaction Logs' and the 'System Path' location (haven't figured out what System Path is exactly, but the default is also '\mdbdata' so you might want to keep it with your IS. Any changes you do here will automatically stop the Exchange services and move any existing files. -----Original Message----- From: Harel [mailto:harel_zahavi@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 15 October 2002 1:34 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] exchange ate up my hard drive http://www.MSExchange.org/ i was wondering if anyone knew if it is at all possible to change the mdbdata directory in exchange 2000, it has grown to full capacity on my server and i now i have no c drive. is there any way to break it yup accross multiple hard drives or is my only way to start to set up mailbox quotas? also what happened to the performance optimizer utility for 2000? ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: andreacoppini@xxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') Andrea Coppini +356 79 ANDREA (263732) andreacoppini@xxxxxxxx EMPOWER PEOPLE - THE WORLD IN YOUR HAND iWG (iWORLD GROUP) is a global e-mobile company creating, building and growing new businesses. iWG founders are pioneers in creating multi-billion dollar mobile and Internet businesses in Europe, Asia and the US.
