Question

Sign in to vote

Hi,

I have Exchange 2010 (DAG) install. My C drive is almost full. I forgot to set mailbox database path during my installation. Is it possible to move all the mailboxes to another volume/drive (for instance from C:\ to D:\ ) ?

What are the steps to be taken before i start moving all the mailboxes ?

thanks

regards

Rizal

It's something of a pain if you have a DAG as it involves removing existing DAG database copies. The process is described here:
