I am planning to do a full backup as well as exporting mailboxes using ExMerge. The problem using Optimizer is that I wll lose the current drive letter -- somewhat discomfiting.

Once all services back up and running, disconnect the old drive. -----Original Message----- From: Jay Kulsh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 25 March 2003 9:49 a.m. To: Exchange Discussions Subject: A Simple Question - Replacing a small drive in Exch 5.5 Our drive that contains information store is near capacity. We will like to replace it with a larger drive. Will the following scenario work? 1. After shutting down the server, add the larger drive and bring back the server with all Exchange services stopped. 2. Copy the MDBData folder to the new drive. 3. Rename the new drive same as the old drive (E: in this case) in Disk Manager. 4. Start the Exchange services after running isinteg -patch. 5. If everything goes well, shutdown the server and remove the old drive and boot up. Is there any flaw in this thinking? Please comment. Thanks. - Jay _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
