In previous message I mised subject, so same message again, sory :-((
I have Exchange 5.5 SP3 runing on Windows NT4SP6. NT is installed on C: (NTFS partition on first disk ) and Exchange is installed on disk D: (NTFS partition, another physical disk). The 8.5 gig drive (D
that Exchange sits on (Exchange installation, public, private store, logs etc.), is near full (300mb remaining). I plan on installing an new 18.5 gig drive into that server, copy all from old disk (D to new one, and take out old 8.5 Gb disk.
My plan is :
1. Switch all Exchange services to manual and shutdown all Exchange services.
2. Change the drive letter D: to other unused letter (e.g. L.
3. Put in new disk
4. Assign letter D: to new disk
5. Copy (xcopy or just copy?) all Exchange folders from L: to D:
6. Startup Exchange services.
Can I do on this way? Is there any problem with this replacing of disks for MS Exchange server (NTFS_partition_ID or something like this?)?
Thanks.
