Can anyone tell me what the extra drive created by exchange is used for?

Thanks
 
Hi

Its a virtual drive of the one where u install the exchange 2000. Its normal dont worry about it.
 
The new drive (usually M:) is part of the installable file system (IFS) and Exchange 2000 uses it to expose the message stores for web (OWA) and file access. If you browse to it you will see mailboxes, etc.

If you don't need it it can be removed - but don't unless you know you don't need it. The following link shows how to remove it and has links to other articles that identify issues (such as virus scanning) that should be addressed as well if you do use it.

Px,
Richard
