Increase sbs 2008 C: partition
I am in a constant battle with the C drive of my sbs 2008. The size it about 70 Gb and it is constantly filling up. Every week I delete logs and truncate sharepoint logs. The actual exchange and sharepoint databases are on another partition that is not even close to being filled.
I've come to the conclusion that i need to increase the size of the C: drive. Does anyone have any good suggestions on how I can do this easily? Is my only option to start from scratch?
I use the built in backup application to back everything up..

I've actually alraedy done that....Those logs were ridiculous. I deleted them quite a while ago but now the c drive is filling up again even though the logs are gone for good :-(
Did you disable the logs via IIS?
What else is eating up the space on the c: drive?

Sulimanw - I'm not familiar with what that is. Can you give a little background as to what that does?
also you can use a free tool to find out what does eat space:

Then find the WSUS IIS logs and delete them.
I had this with an SBS 08 box this week and having only recently cleared out the logfiles, found the C: drive was filling up again. This seems to have improved the situation massively.
70Gb should be ample space.
