Hello,
I have installed a fresh windows server 2008R2 and fully updated, and then installed Exchange Server 2010 SP1 and everything is working fine, I choosed to store the DB and the log files on D drive.
after 20 days, I have noticed that C drive which hold the system is totally full, while the size is 180GB, I checked inside and I found only 17GB is actually used, I double check the Paging and it is not activated for the C drive.
I have Forefront End point on the server and it telling me no virus on the machine.
what is the issue, why C drive showing full while I have only 17GB used from 180 GB partition space ?
Please help, I don't want to format again, I have 300 users connected to the DB

Hi Nour,
First please have a look on this article:

Let's first check if it is a real issue. Try the chkdsk command to get a correct disk space result.

Thank you for your kind replay Shaon,
I have booted to the Safe Mood, and I found that the drive is actually used the full size of the drive, when I searched I found that a data base copy from the configuered DAG is killing the size from the log files, I have removed the data base copy from the DAG and deleted the database files including the log and this gave me 95GB of size.
Thank you again.
