you literally just right click on the database you want to move and select Move Database Path
once you have done that enter the new path and complete the wizard.

i just tried the wizard and have this error:

Failed
Error:
Can't complete the operation. The database, "Mailbox Database 0578675279", is in backup status.
Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
move-DatabasePath -Identity 'Mailbox Database 0578675279' -EdbFilePath 'B:\Exchange DB\mailboxes\Mailbox Database 0578675279.edb' -LogFolderPath 'B:\Exchange DB\mailboxes'

Is the database part of a DAG? Or is it a brand new installation?
Are you backing it up?
If you right click on the database and select properties the status will be listed there.

i'm not sure what a DAG is, but this is the only server in the organisation and is a DC too.
i'm not yet backing it up and the status is mounted.
