Move-StorageGroupPath cmdlet call fails
I'm at the tail end of migrating from an older environment to our new Windows 2003 SP2 (x64) server running Exchange 2007 SP1. However, after spending most of my time focused on the migration, last night I noticed that my C-drive is almost out of space, due to the massive size of the log and system file folders for my mailbox storage group. I tried to use the Move-StorageGroupPath cmdlet to move it to another drive, but I got an error:
========================== ========== ========== =====
Summary: 1 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed.

First Storage Group
Failed
Error:
WMI exception occured on server 'mx1.TS.com': Call cancelled
Call cancelled
Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
move-StorageGroupPath -Identity 'MX1\First Storage Group' -LogFolderPath 'G:\MAILBOXES\Microsoft\Ex change Server\Mailbox\First Storage Group\Log Files' -SystemFolderPath 'G:\MAILBOXES\Microsoft\Ex change Server\Mailbox\First Storage Group\System Files'
Elapsed Time: 00:31:32
========================== ========== ========== =====
There were no errors in my Event Logs prior to running this command, all Exchange services were/are running, and I've tried running the same command via Exchange Management Console and Exchange Powershell. I've already successfully moved our Public Folders logs & system files to the same target drive, so I don't know what's causing the problems with our mailbox database stuff.
Help?

Yep -- I tried it from both the console and Powershell, with the same error in each case.
Hi
Have you tried installing the updates? Have you tried to install the SP1?
Are all services running?
Try installing all updates, checking the services, and then rebooting the server, and trying again

If you try to move the storage group from the Exchange Management Console, you will have the same errors?
