When creating my Exchange 2k3 cluster, I think I accidently put the same
drive to be used for both logs and exchange database. I have migrated some
users over to the new exhcange and i see 5.1mb log files being created in
the M:\EXCHSRVR\MDBDATA folder. I do not see anything happening in the L:
(logs) drive.

Both drive are available resources in the cluster.

Is there anyway to change where the log files are stored after the virtual
server has been created?

TIA

1) Make sure both the L: and M: are dependences for the System Attendant
(SA). This will require a restart of the SA.
2) Use the Exchange System Manager - point to the Storage Group - Database -
move the logs to L:. This will require a restart of the Stores.

So, its easy, but you will have down time!

Cheers,

Rod
