Exchange 2010 Transaction Logs filling up drive.
Every 6 months or so, Ive gotta get into a customers Exchange 2010 Server and clear out old transaction logs to prevent a stop in mail flow from occurring. Question: Is there any way to set this up to be done automatically within management console so the drive doesnt fill and break Exchange?

Exchange isn't backed up with files and folders. You need to use an Exchange aware backup which will see the Exchange databases and allow you to select them.
In some cases you do select the drive that the Exchange logs and databases are located on, but it varies by application.
My preferred choice - Backup Assist - will see the Exchange databases and allow you to select them as something to backup.

Removing log files manually is not recommended way of house keeping exchange environment.
