Hello, I am working on an Exchange 2010 lab server and I am going to install Exchange 2010 but I want the database to reside on a separate volume. The Exchange server will be on volume c: along the OS and I have a d: volume raid 5 that's where I want the data. What's the best way to go about this?

If you are trying to move an existing database, you can follow: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351168.aspx If this is a new database, at the time of creation, you can specific database path location http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335229.aspx Tim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Lync 2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog: http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com | Twitter: @twharrington

during install of the MB server role you can specify the path of database files as well the names of database just add these options while installing the Mailbox role. the path you specify can not be root of the drive it has to be a folder inside a volume [/DbFilePath] The full path to the .edb file. Roles: Mailbox [/LogFolderPath] The folder path to the directory where logs should be placed. Roles: Mailbox to list all options run the command below setup /help:install Dhruv
