<div>
if i added a second SATA drive on the existing exchange 2007 server, can i just move the mbx's that are on the primary HDD?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Current exchange2007 Server has<br />
c:\ 72gb SCSII RAID1 (1.3gb free space)<br />
d:\160gb SATA (new)<br />
<br />
what would be the files that i should modify to reflect the new path? and what are the actual files that i should move manually? can this be done as a temporary solution until the new server arrives?

i have an exchange Server 2007 in place and its working fine except for the fact that the hardware used is an old 64 bit and it isnt redundant - on top of that disk space is running out by the day. <br />
I would like to buy a new server and put a fresh 2k3server install and exchange 2007 re-install. but the question is can i retain all of the databases/mailboxes that are currently running on the exchange server. ? what are the files that i should be looking for to move to the new hardware if such an act is possible?<br />
thanks<br />

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
