Before you move the DB's you should also consider if you should get
another drive and mirror the other drive or if you can use RAID5
instead?! If it is a single drive you have no failover security anymore.

And because that is where exchange 5.5 install puts it by default.
Same reason people put their Active Directory logs and databases on the
same drive. That's where they end up, and they don't know why it should
be any different.
Not to get off topic, but that is the problem with Microsoft "dumbing
down" the admin requirements of their software. It is too easy to get
it working. It is exponentially harder to get it working well.
Kind of like Othello: "A minute to learn, a lifetime to master"
(And before anyone gets on my case for Microsoft Bashing, just about all
OS's have gone the same path. It is now possible for someone to, with
no linux experience, get a RH 7.3 box up and running. But is it running
well? Not out of the box, that's for sure...)
Pretty soon it's going to be like a Simpsons Episode: You look into the
"control center" of a company and all you see are moneys in little red
hats pushing buttons, swinging from the ceiling, and eating bananas.
I guess I'll have to learn how to train monkeys...

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

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. =3D20 Thanks in

need all the help I can get
