Changing transactionlogpath - e2k7
How do I change the transactionlogpath for mailstores in e2k7? Do I have to unmount the database before moving? What about current transactionlogs - are they automatically moved aswell?Thanks in advance.

Moving the transaction logs does require you to dismount all databases in the storage group. Moving the logs will work and move all necessary files for you (also current transaction log files) Deli

You can use the GUI or the Command Shell http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201703.aspx To use the Exchange Management Console to change log file locations for an existing database Start the ExchangeManagement Console on the server on which the storage group is located. In the console tree, expand Server Configuration, and then click Mailbox. In the result pane, click the Mailbox server that contains the storage group for which you want to change the log file location. In the work pane, click the storage group for which you want to change the log file location. In the action pane, click Move Storage Group Path. The Move Storage Group Path wizard appears. On the Introduction page, the Log files path box displays the location where your log files are currently stored. Click Browse to specify a location to which to move these files. Note: You cannot use the ExchangeManagement Console to change the log file location for remote Mailbox servers. Click Move. A warning appears that all databases in the storage group must be temporarily dismounted, which will make them inaccessible to any user. To continue, click Yes. On the Completion page, confirm whether the log file path was changed successfully. A status of Completed indicates that the wizard completed the task successfully. A status of Failed indicates that the task was not completed. If the task fails, review the summary for an explanation, and then click Back to make any configuration changes. Click Finish to complete the Move Storage Group Path wizard. To use the Exchange Management Shell to change the log file location for an existing database Run the following command on the server that contains the storage group for which you want to change the log file location: Copy CodeMove-StorageGroupPath -Identity "MyStorageGroup" -LogFolderPath "D:\MyNewLogFolder" Deli
