I posted a similar question a while back, but received a confusing response. I thought I'd try again...

I have my E2k Server configured with 2 disks, an OS drive (C:) and a data drive (D:) The exchange app is stored on C:, but after the install I moved the data to D: by changing the transaction log and the system path both to D. I also moved the Exchange Database and the Exchange streaming database under the mailstore properties.

When I click on the virtual drive (M:) that exchange has created, I see the information displayed on the right for the OS drive (6 gigs used, 2 gig open) This leads me to believe the exchange data is somehow still being stored on the C: drive, and not the 50 gig D: drive. It appears that the exchange database is actually on D:, but I'm not sure how to verify everything else.

Is there anything else I need to move? Should I be worried? Even if this stuff is on D, why does it show the C drive properties on the virtual drive?



Thanks for the help.
 
Goto properties of the Storage Group. This will show you log path. Then properties of the databases this shows you the database path. This is all you need to move.

Don't worry about the M drive unless you program. Dan
