Moving a Storage group to different path
Due to running out of drive space, I need to move an email EDB to another drive with lots of space. The size of the DB is 98GB and I have never done this before. I have exchange 2007 and see the option to "move database path" Any tips from those that have done this before would be welcome. With 98GB to move, any idea how long it would take?

Store will be dismounted, emails will be queued. The DB will get copied to the new location and serveral Exchange attributes are updated in AD to reflect the new location. Can't estimate the time to move but it'll likley closely resemble if you did a flat file copy of the 98DB database to another location on the same server.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

Backup the logs/db before doing the move.
