Win SBS 2003 Server Management - Server Performance Reports
Hello all,
I have a client that is running Windows SBS 2003, SP1. I set up monitoring reports and alerts to email me daily, as they do not have remote access capabilities. I noticed that over a period of a week, that the C:\ drive usage has jumped about 250 meg every day. Is the monitoring and reporting the cause of this?
If this is the case, I was hoping to find where this data was stored and find out how to manage it so that it would not take up so much drive space. I thought I would ask the experts first.
I am giving the maximum number of points as this could become an urgent situation.
Many Thanks,
Shawna

It sounds like your exchange is installed on your drive c:
If so that is why. Until you backup the exchange server to eliminate thr log files it will always grow.

Just a follow up and thanks for this! Jeff/TechSoEasy, this is exactly what I was looking for. The customer's partition is 15 Gb and they do have another partition that has more space available. Moving this enables me to do what I prefer to do, that is, not to have 'data' elements on the 'C:\' partition.
Many thanks!

- SecEvent.Evt 64MB That's OK it's the maximum on my system (can be checked through properties)
- SBSMonitoring.mdf 50MB No clue if it will continue to grow.
- Edb.log is active but 10MB as should be and with only one Edbxxxx.log Is OK
That's more or less it.
I would start by hunting down big files. And for the paranoia run something like Wondows Defender to check if no exeptional processes are running.
