Re: Help- Exchange out of space!

Ok...in the process of copying these files.

Another question, where are all the emails going that would have come
in since this happened? Is there a holding location --the Queue folder-
until they can be pulled into the database?

Thanks

Out of drive space on the Exchange partition. The size of this
partition is 8GB so we reached that limit, not the 16GB. I have a
choice of 2 other partitions to move the logs and database files to.
Thanks..I am getting ready to proceed with Article# 257184 but was
concerned that I should manually backup these files first
(priv1.edb,priv1.stm, & log files)

Also, should we move the Public folders too (pub1.edb & pub1.stm) ??

What about: res1.log & tmp.edb ??

are you out of space on the drive, or did you run into the 16 gig limit?

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.
