Moving Mailbox Databases – (Needs DownTime)
Preferred to do only for small databases as if the database is large the down time is huge you may need to move those files manually using adsiedit.msc which are not covered on this post.
Move-DatabasePath Database01 -EdbFilePath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Mailbox\Database01\Database01.edb" -LogFolderPath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Mailbox\Database01"
Moving Transport Databases – (Needs DownTime – Mailflow)
Lets utilized a inbuilt script .\Move-TransportDatabase.ps1, Move the Exchange management shell to use this location
cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Scripts"
.\Move-TransportDatabase.ps1 -QueueDatabaseLoggingPath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Queue" -IPFilterDatabasePath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\IpFilter" -IPFilterDatabaseLoggingPath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\IpFilter" -TemporaryStoragePath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Temp"
Now you can see its moved successfully.
Lets see how to move these logs locations as well.
To Check Existing locations
ReceiveProtocolLogPath : C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\ProtocolLog\SmtpReceive SendProtocolLogPath : C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\ProtocolLog\SmtpSend MessageTrackingLogPath : C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking RoutingTableLogPath : C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\Routing PipelineTracingPath : C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\PipelineTracing ConnectivityLogPath : C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\Connectivity
Now lets set them to new location
Set-TransportService DUCV-EXCH01 -ReceiveProtocolLogPath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\ProtocolLog\SmtpReceive" -SendProtocolLogPath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\ProtocolLog\SmtpSend" -MessageTrackingLogPath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking" -RoutingTableLogPath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\Routing" -PipelineTracingPath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\PipelineTracing" -ConnectivityLogPath "D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\Connectivity"
