As your environment grows or changes over time, it may be necessary to move one or more databases and their log streams to another location. Like most things, this change can be performed through the Exchange Management Console, but performing this task within the shell gives you some more flexibility. In this recipe, you will learn how to move database and log files to another location.
To move the database file and log stream for the DB1
database to a new location, use the following command syntax:
Move-DatabasePath -Identity DB1 ` -EdbFilePath E:\Databases\DB1\DB1.edb ` -LogFolderPath E:\Databases\DB1 ` -Confirm:$false ` -Force
After executing the preceding command, the DB1
database and log files will be moved to the E:\Databases\DB1
directory, without prompting you for confirmation.
