C: Drive Filling Up

[GeorgeTuk]

Hi guys,

Not familiar with SBS 2003 more with regular servers but we have little office that runs with it.

The C: drive keeps filling up but I cannot see what is causing this, the mailbox store is not on the usual log places seem empty.

Any ideas of where to look?

Thanks

George

Do you mean the usual exchange transaction log places?

From memory, c:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata - is it full of log files?

Have you been doing exchange aware backups regularly?
If the above location is full of log files, you probably need to do an exchange aware backup.

If it is nothing do do with the above, do a search for files created or modified in the last day/week/month or two and see if that gives you any pointers

Check your shadow copy settings to see where it's putting your snapshots. Norally when you can't find anything else thats filling the drive, it's those!!

Also worth checking c:\windows\system32\logfiles especially the W3SVC1 folder. That can have huge numbers of logs in it. If you're not interested in the old webserver log files, you can either delete all but the most recent or at least move them to a folder with more space.
