Add Storage Group to different Drive

[cjtucker1976]

I wanted to add another storage group and mailbox database to a different drive. Right now everything is installed on my E drive. I would like to start adding users to a new storage group on a F drive but when i create one it goes by default to the E drive and the browse button is grayed out- any suggestions. thanks

Is this part of a CCR cluster? If so, both nodes of the cluster need to have the same drive letter available to add a storage group.

What happens if you try to use Exchange Management Shell to create it?

it's not part of cluster, Just a vm of Exchange with the database on local storage. I want to move the db to a shared storage not everyone and not all at once.

So the F: drive appears as local storage, correct? Have you tried my earlier suggestion?
