Not enough disk space left on C:Hello All - Our mail server was poorly designed by having the C: drive
partition set to only 10GB (don't ask, I don't know either). We are having all sorts of issues, but my main concern is our Exchange database (granted is very small now < 4GB) which sits on the C: partition. The E: drive (where data resides) is about 200GB or so. We need to do two things: 1. Resize C: drive (know of any solid tools do so on a Windows 2003 SMB SP2 server?) 2. Move the Exchange database and files to E: to provide for future growth My approach would be to run (2) full backups, rebuild the partitions from scratch (yes, reloading Windows) and starting new (very afraid!). Your help and wisdom greatly appreciated in advance. Kind regards, Partitioning Majic is a great tool for this but the Server version is quite
expensive. If you have an extra swing box/server, I would look at this method as it keeps everything fairly clean. I assumed this was Exchange 2003? -- Show quoteHide quoteJohn Oliver, Jr MCSE, MCT, CCNA Exchange MVP 2009 Microsoft Certified Partner <soara***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:2b2642e6-1cea-4bbf-8ff5-a7954d66c17b@k19g2000yqg.googlegroups.com... > Hello All - Our mail server was poorly designed by having the C: drive > partition set to only 10GB (don't ask, I don't know either).

Kind regards, hard drive space to move Exchange (yes, 2003) to it and then rebuild? Sorry, don't follow. Correct, a swing/temp box is what I call it.

Kind regards, here are because you're using Google Groups - this is not a good way to access the newsgroups. Neither is the (icky) Microsof web interface. Try using a news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express, instead. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way. You can mark messages to be watched, filter the views so you can see replies to your posts easily, and search. You can still use Google Groups just for searching old posts. The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
