OK.

Windows 2003 STD. Exchange Enterprise 2003 single exchange server setup.
DBs are over 75 GB they reside on a 80 gb partition & there is 1.93 GB of
free space left. Log files are located on a seperate partition.

Let me know what else you need.

Windows 2003? Exchange 2003? In a cluster now? How big are your DBs, how
big is the partition they are on? How big are you log files? What is the
size of that partition?

Tip:
Sometimes the best way to use newsgroups is to give all of that info. up
front becasue as the day goes by, your post moves down in the group and a
lot of people don't look too far down the list. Give all the info. in the
first post at the top of the list and more eyes will see your question.

Basically the problem is the following. The parition where the databases
are
stored is running out of space. There is not enough hard drive space to
run
a offline defrag to shrink the database size. I attempted to run a defrag
a
couple of months ago using the external hard drive and I had to stop it
because it was going to take more than a day to complete. We are going to
be
moving the Exchange database in about a month to a new cluster with plenty
of
storage but I'm afraid that the database will out grow the current
partition
in less than a month. So i'm playing the waiting game hoping we can have
our
new datacenter & new Exchange cluster up an running sooner than later but
I
do not have control over that so I'm looking for a temporary solution
(band-aid) that will allow exchange to funtion just in case the hard drive
runs out of space.

thx.

Hello,

I know already know that my question is not a recommended solution but
due
to current circumstances it might be my only option.

Is there anything that would stop me from moving the exchange databases
to
an external hard drive? I know I will most likely suffer a major
decrease
in
performance among the other issue. But i need to know if there is
anything
that would prevent me from moving the database to the external hard
drive.

thx.
