SBS 2011 C drive filling up
I have a SBS 2011 Std machine with 150GB on C. The Exchange EDB is 65GB and have moved WSUS, disabled VSS and moved the page file. The logs under C:\Windows\system32\logfil
Not sure where else to look. Thanks

Hi
There are many things that can eat your disk space:
The KB uninstall foders
Exchange log files
SQL database and logs
hibernation and swap file
What you can do is to look at the size of each root folder on the C drive and then analyse each one.

Thanks. I ran it and digging through. I don't have the hibernation file on C:\
Exchange is around 70GB

Nothing i'll be able to do. looking around the EDB is 72GB on 120GB partition with rest of OS having 40GB and 6 Free.
i tried moving the exchange DB to a new volume this am but got an error and it rolled back. It did say to ensure that VSS is enabled on new volume so probably the reason. The error log related to that failure showed this:
Microsoft System Attendant. ---> Microsoft.Mapi.MapiExcepti

Have you used the wizards on the SBS console to move Exchange? If not, that's the first step.
Make sure everyone is out of Outlook before doing this.

yeah that's what i used.
i was also going to expand the C partition tonight as another option.

Exchange 2010 works the same way with white space and having to do offline defrags to reclaim it correct?

Yeah i did. great article and i went through it. I think in this case i may just have too small a volume for the 70GB EDB. Are you familiar with the whitespace in sbs 2011/exch 2010? i haven't worked with that since 2003 and there we had to use the offline defrag to reclaim space once mailboxes were deleted or items archived.
Thank you
Thank you
Are you saying the .edb file is still on the C: drive? If you ran the wizard to move exchange, it should be on another volume. does the one on the c: drive have today's date?
ASKER
i ran the wizard for exchange but it failed with info i placed earlier in a post. i'm going to try again later and post back.

There was not much to delete as the exchange db is quite large. I will be attempting to move the DB again via the wizard after clearing up possible reason for error. In the interim, I moved the queue dir to other volume as per http://exchangeserverpro.com/exchange-server-2007-event-id-15002-and-431-insufficient-system-resources-errors/
I use this program http://windirstat.info/
My windows 2008 server was getting low on disk space and I found that hibernation file became very large this file is based on the amount of memory you have
I ran powercfg / hibernate off
Do not need a server to go into hibernate mode.
