After installing Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 I'm getting 6003 error in the event log:

MSExchangeHMHost: Exchange failed to create the log directory D:\MonitoringDiagnosticLogs\MSExchangeHMHost ...

I can't believe it but see for yourself: this "D:\..." path is HARDCODED to "\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\Microsoft.Exchange.Monitoring.ActiveMonitoring.Local.Components.dll"  !!!

How could it be and how to deal with this error!?

Hello,

Please make sure whether you configure Environment Variables or use Junction tool / Hardlink to modify path.

Please open Control Panel , select System, select Advanced system settings, click it, check Environment Variables under Advanced.

Can delete folder?

Nok

Can someone answer whether we can delete those folder or not?

jd

In our case, we needed to remove an empty D drive from a particular server with this folder. We just tested this in our Lab: Removed the disk without stopping the service, nothing broke. Restarted service to see what would happen, get the one off error in the Event log.

Since this log is never really used anyway, I'm just going to ignore it. It would be REALLY nice if there was some info from Microsoft on this. :: )
