Exchange 2010 Server Low On Space
We have an Exchange 2010 server that will be decommissioned shortly but right now I need it to work. It is rejecting mail from outside the organization as it only has 25GB of space left on the E: drive. I'm worried about adding a drive to the RAID 5 the E: drive lives on and I want to know if it's possible and if it would be better to add a single drive to the server and set it up as the F: drive, create a mailbox store on the F: drive and move some of the mailboxes to that F: drive
Also how can I tell if a mailbox store is being used? I believe I moved all mailboxes off of one of my mailbox stores but it is still showing that it is using 25GB of storage

I tried running the Set-StorageGroup -Identity "First Storage Group" -CircularLoggingEnabled $true but I received the following error

Here is results from your script

I found the method for enabling circular logging from the management console by going to
In the console tree, expand Server Configuration, and then click Mailbox.
In the work pane, right-click the storage group for which you want to enable or disable circular logging, and then click Properties. The <Storage Group Name> Properties dialog box appears.
Select or clear the Enable circular logging check box.
But I do not see Circular Logging as an option

OK try
You have almost 1 TB of logs! Jezz
Set-MailboxDatabase -identity "Mailbox Database 0482295700" -CircularloggingEnabled:$trueYou have almost 1 TB of logs! Jezz
You could create a new disk and move users as well to free up space just make sure the new database is backed up.
You could also check for disconnected mailboxes.
Get-MailboxDatabase | Get-MailboxStatistics | Where { $_.DisplayName -eq "<display name>" } | fl DisplayName,MailboxGuid,Da
This will list all mailboxes that were deleted but might still be in the 30 day recoverable time. those can be removed by running this:
Get-MailboxStatistics -Database databasename | where {$_.DisconnectReason -eq "SoftDeleted"} | ForEach {Remove-StoreMailbox -Database $_.Database -Identity $_.MailboxGuid -MailboxState SoftDeleted}
