Not to my knowledge. From past experience the database will need to be dismounted for the path to move. I'm sure you've seen this:

There is no way you can move the log files directory to a diff location without down time. even if you move the log files from EMC, it will be a three step process1. Dismount the store2. Move the log file3. Mount the stores back.Raj

Thank you, I will follow the three step process. I am using SBS2003, this also applies to this version, correct?

I haven't worked much with SBS2003 but the process should be the same.SF - MCITP:EMA, MCTS: MOSS 2007, OCS 2007, Exchange 2007 --

In this case the procedures are the same. For most of the other types of data moves you should use the SBS tools (user files, WSUS, SharePoint etc). To Rajnish R Sharma (1. dismount the store; 2. move the log files; 3. mount the stores back), a forth step should perhaps be added: 4. Remove the destination folder from being scanned by file-level anti-virus software running on your server.Moving Data Folders for Windows Small Business Server 2003http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708031(WS.10).aspx
