Licensing keeps disapearing and dismounting exchange server
My CALs keep disappearing after a day or so. My exchange server and public folders keep dismounting also. Would this have anything to do with Trend Micro Office Scan? and any ideas as to how to resolve this?

Well over night for the past two days the licenses disappear. When you goto administrative tools / licensing, all of my CALs are missing. I have to re-add and re-activate them.
try exluding the license files from trend...I think these are it. Maybe just exclude LLS
C:\Windows\system32\lls
C:\Windows\system32\licstr
C:\Windows\system32\lls
C:\Windows\system32\licstr
Anything in the event viewer? How much disk space do you have remaining? How large is the mailbox store? Is this a Small Business Server?

I have about 4 gigs of space remaining on that drive. Im not sure how big the mailbox store is, because I dont know how to check that.
And yes its a SBS.

Take a look through the event viewer and see if you can determine what is making it dismount. I bet you are bumping againt the default max database size limit of 18 GB. I believe this can be changed to a larger size now.

Is there anyway to move the file store to a different drive on the same server. I think it is maxing out. That does not explain why my licenses keep disappearing though.
I excluded those files in the scan including the entire system32 directory.

I wouldn't exclude the entire directory for long...prime place for viruses. Will not hurt to do it for testing purposes. Go to the properties of the mailbox store in ESM > Database tab > browse to the new location.
it will dismount the store and move it for you. It's possible the log files are filling up your drive if that's the case. You can get the properties of the storage group and move the log file location the same way.

If you're database size is maxed out there's a registry key to change (Exchange needs to be SP2) : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912375
Is this SBS or the full product?
If it is the full product then stop and disable the licensing service. It is a piece of junk that just gets in the way.
If this is SBS - then do NOT do that.

I moved the mailbox store. It was maxing out my the disk space.
Or, you're over licensed or close to being over licensed and it time to buy 5 additional.
