Hi all, because of my partition is too small for exchange, I want to merge this partition with another. So, I think I will do this : stop exchange services copy all data of this partition via robocopy.exe mergepartitions re copy all datat a the new mergedpartition restart exchange This operation will do on SBS 2003. Is it really simple or I forgot anything ? ###################################"" Bonjour tous,voil, la partition accueillant exchange devient trop petite.Le but est de casser cette partition et de la fsionner avec une autre.Je pense donc faire comme suit : arrter les service robocopier les donnes de cette partition vers un support amovible fusionner les partitions recopier les donnes sur la nouvelle partition relancer exchangePetit dtail, c'est un SBS.Est-ce qu'il faut que je fasse attention quelque chose en particulier ?

I consider that you are talking about database and transaction logs as a term data. Make sure that when you stop exchange services, database shutdown cleanly. You can run eseutil /mh "Database Path"and search for clean shutdown. You may change the status of exchange services to disabled after stopping to make sure it doesnt start anyhow.

This has been done. All works perfect. - disable exchange services (to not restart on next start before all the files has been copy). - disable "microsoft search" process because it lock EDB file - Save all data in partition throught robocopy after stop cleanly exchange - break and merge partition - recopy all the data in the new partition - restart all the system Thx.
