XADM: Can't Change Location of IS Log Files if IS Not Running (157647)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q157647 SUMMARY
When you try to change the location of Information Store (IS) log files
through the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program, the
Administrator program shuts down the Information Store service before
changing the path. If the Information Store service is not running, the
Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program tries to start the service
before shutting it down. This is done to help ensure that the shutdown of
the database is clean; this is a prerequisite to moving the database.
If the service has stopped due to lack of disk space and you attempt to
change the location of IS log files through the Administrator program, the
Administrator program will return an error message stating that the service
could not be stopped. It is actually trying to start and then stop the
service.
Use Performance Optimizer to move the IS log files.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server,
version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
