How do I know if Exchange is working properly?
Hello Experts,
We have a Small Business Server 2003 with Exchange. We have been running out of space and I moved the store to a different drive. Seems the STM file is getting big. Exchange is running, but I don't know if it's running correctly. I don't know anything about the transaction logs and such, just the information store. I think I may have deleted the transaction logs but I don't know.
What I need is a quick how to find out where the files should be and how I can tell if everything is working correctly. I am afraid that Exchange is going to die and I don't know what to do.
I understand that the backup flushes the logs, but my backup has been failing recently. I'm not sure if the backup is flushing the logs before it fails or not. I'm using Backup Exec 10d

They seem awfully big. I asked our users to delete as much as possible, and we are going to use PSTs a little more often, but this seems like it's way too big, like something's not right. I tried to defrag the 28gb file, but it failed. Space issues. I think I'm going to try it again now that I've moved it.
