Runing Out of Disk Space - SBS2003

Recently I started runing out of disk space on my disk C: on SBS2003
My clients pull their mail to their *.pst files on their local disk, so no
email messages retained on the server. I did not add any thing to drive C: ,
All my applications are runing on drive D;

I deleted some files, and was OK. But The next day the same problem
again
Where is the problem coming from. Is it logging Problem ???

You should consider establishing the sizes of the folders at root
level - and then checking them periodically to see where this growth
is occuring. It could be logging, your anti-virus software might have
a growing quarantine, the badmail folder might be filling up, backup
software catalogs, etc.

Do you have Exchange on drive C??? Are you using Exchange?

Most likely is that you are not backing up Exchange properly (using an
Exchange-aware programs such as NTBACKUP). Check if you have a
lot of .log (~5MB) files in the exchsrvr\mtbdata directory that are not
being purged (do not delete them manually).

Where are your page files? If they are on C you can move
them and it may give you more time to analyize your space
problem. Also have you had any system crashes that may
have created .dmp files? these can be quite large and
reside in WINNT on C.
