Set location for information store

Hello,

I'm not sure this is the right way to phrase this question, but I have a
server with two drives. What I'd like to do is have all the email data
stored on the second hard drive. Looking at the system manager, I see where
I can specify where the databases should be. Is this all I need to do? The
exchange server isn't live yet, so no one has any mail in it.

Yes, set the database and the logs to the second drive. Then restart the
system attedant service.

A third drive would be preferable so you can have logs and database
seperately, but 2 as above is sufficient.

Very difficult to comment because we no nothing about your environment. If
you have 1000 mailboxes that are heavily used then you server is possibly
inadequate with the current storage topology. Also what about the RAID level
of your disks. Also the assumption is the drives are physical but if they
are logical partitions then they may as well go on the "same" drive.
