Steve, Thanks, yes saw the article. But question is more of a risks and interuption in service to clients. I expect the whole thing to take no more than 15 minutes and be risk free; but worth asking just in case. Fizzmo

Hi Fizzmo Does this article describe what you need: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822933 Basically you just stop the service and change the location using Exchange System Manager. Cheers, Steve

Hi I have 4 Exchange 2003 server, in the same admin group. The London Server is the Bridgehead server but also has the default SMTP ques on a separate EMC provided LUN. We are decommisioning the EMC. If I wish to move the SMTP default folders back to their orginal[defaul] location what is the best practice and any interuption in service to users? Thanks Fizzmo

Hi According to my test, you just stop services in a few minutes. So I think that it is not big risk. If steves advice is helpful, please mark his case.

Hi, Yes move went smoothly. Although worth noting the stopping of SMTP virtual server took at least 30 seconds [ in testing it was done in 3 ]. Thanks to everyone. Fizzmo
