Re: Help- Exchange out of space!

Should I backup any files before proceeding? Just arrived on site and
looking at the articles you directed me to..thanks for the reply.

you can also temporarily increase the size of the store to 17 gigabytes:

that will allow you to get a good online backup before you do anything like
a defrag..

you can redirect a temp.ebb for a defrag:

Using Exchange 2000 server on SBS 2000 on a single server. Clients
cannot open Outlook because cannot connect to Exchnage server. Checked
the partition where Exchange is located and it is oout of space. Have
corresponding Event errors: 9175;1005;482;428;9411;8250, etc all
related to Exchange errors. Outlook last updated with emails about 5
hours ago

1. We have another partition with a lot more space, how can we safely
move Exchange there --is there a wizard?
2. Our last backup of Exchange was 2 days ago because of 2 days of bad
tapes. What precautions should we take before moving Exchange; ie what
can/should we manually backup before doing anything?
3. How can we immediately stop Exchange from running --should we do
this? That way we can retrieve email from web-based service temporarily
before email is pulled in--or maybe Exchange cannot do that at this
point???
4. There is not enough space to run a online defragmentation, etc
--only 500kb left.

Thanks..on way to site now.
