Moving exchange

[chicknnhead]

I have have NT 4.0 server that has Exchange 5.5 SP3
the server it self has a C, D, E drive, Exchange is on C but it is only 4g and is running out of space, I want move exchange to D which is 20G, is there a easy way to do this? do i stop all the service's? will i have to reinstall the service packs?

Nope, stay where you are and in the Exchange program group is Performance optimiser. Run that and it'll show you where it suggests moving the information stores to - assuming it gets it right (and it usually does) accept these changes and it moves everything for you.

Its a no brainer, but budget at least 2 hours downtime for your server due to service stopping, copying and restarting services. No need to reapply service packs at all, but BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST!!!
