SBS and moving Data folders.

On one particular SBS server, I have a need to free up the system partition. We have installed an additional pair of drives in a RAID 1 array to provide a dedicated data storage partition.

After a bit of searching, I came up with: Moving Data Folders for Windows Small Business Server 2003.

A Word document provides all of the necessary steps to move any of the SBS required folders and data such as the User's shared folder.

A complete list of data folders or files that can be moved:

• Users Shared Folders
• SharePoint Databases.
• Monitoring Database.
• Exchange Databases and Log Files.
• Sent Faxes Folder.
• ClientApps Shared Folder.

Of course, test the methodology within your virtualized SBS environment first!
