asked on Transport service will not start after moving log files Exchange 2007
I moved the log files and system files path for the "First Storage Group" using the Exchange Management Console. Now the Transport service will not start. It just says it did not start in a timely fashion. I tried rebooting the server, moving the files back to the original path, but neither worked. Here are the errors in event viewer.
edgetransport (6720) Transport Mail Database: Error -1032 (0xfffffbf8) occurred while opening logfile F:\Exchange\QueuePath\trn.

check the permissions on the file and see if it is read only

It's not read only.

Any other ideas?
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

May sure the folder you move the log files to have Network Service set with Full Control.
ASKER
Still will not start.
How did you move the files? You created the path and edited the EdgeTransport.exe.config under the bin directory? I would recheck EdgeTransport.exe.config to make sure there are no typos.
But you found the Network Service was not set to full control? What account for Log on as is set for the MS Exchange Transport service?

I used the Exchange Management Console. There is a wizard. The network service was not set to full control. The Transport service is set to log on using the Network Service account.

Why would the permissions have changed when I moved the files?? I moved them back to the original locaiton.
ASKER
If I move the files to a new folder, how will Exchange know where to look for them?

I have not worked with SBS in a while...basically work in a large enterprise environment. When a hub server is brought online and I customize it I edit the EdgeTransport.exe.config in notepad. This is where you tell exchange to "look" for log directories.
