Drive letters not matching for Exchange 2010 DAG
Hi
2 Servers in a DAG, trying to add first mailbox database copy and I get an error that the logfilepath is not on a fixed drive (it is). Seems this is becuase the 2 servers do not have the same drive letters assigned.
Problem:
Exchange 1 has the Exchange 2010 program files and mailboxes on the E drive.
Exchange 2 has the Exchange 2010 program files and mailboxes on the D drive.
Obviously I can just go changing the drive letters around without completely destroying Exchange so what do I do?
If it helps, Exchange 2 is not being used in production yet so downtime is not an issue if I need it.

All members of the DAG should be identical - same drive letters, same drive sizes etc.
I wouldn't remove Exchange and change the drive letters, as I have seen odd things happen where the old letter name still exists.
