↑ Back to the top


Symptoms

The Edb.chk file is not moved after the Performance Optimizer is run.

↑ Back to the top


Cause

The Edb.chk file is created on the original installation drive in the ExchSrvr\Mdbdata and ExchSrvr\Dsadata directories and is not moved with these directories if optimized to another drive.

This is by design.

Workaround

To work around this problem, the *.CHK file can be moved to another drive manually. To do this, perform the following steps:

  1. Start the Exchange Server Administrator program and retrieve the properties of the server object. To get to the server object in the Exchange Server Administrator program, click Organization, click Site, click Configuration, click Servers, click <server>, and then on the File menu, click Properties.
  2. Click the 'Database Paths' tab.
  3. To modify the location of the Edb.chk file for the information store, select the 'Information Store Working Path,' and then click Modify. Using the interface, select the drive letter and folder that the new Edb.chk file will be created in, and then click OK. To change location of the Edb.chk file for the directory, follow the above, but select the 'Directory Working Path'.
  4. Click Apply. This will stop and start the relative services creating the new Edb.chk on the appropriate drive.
