changing exchange drive association

[homer15]

hey everyone,

is it possible to change an exchange drive association? for example, drive M is currently associated with my C, but i'd like it to build off of drive D instead (way more space). is it possible to do this without a complete rebuild of exchange?

Ignore the M drive.It does not exist...

In Exchange system manager, drill down to the Private Info Store. In properties, it details the files priv.edb and priv.stm or similar. Browse to a newly created folder on D. ESM will dismount the database and move the files.

REALLY don't think of the M drive.

yea, i know the drive m doesn't actually exist, but it is physically taking up room on my tapped out c drive. thanks, i'll give that a shot.

so all i have to do is change the directory it looks at and it will automatically migrate the database, or should i copy the database over and have the manager just point to the newly copied database?
