Re: Move EVS to new disks
Hi John,
I'll give this a go at the weekend. The bit I didn't know about was ADSIEdit
- I'd tracked down the registry entries, but without the final bit it clearly
won't work.
Thanks
Simon

Re: Move EVS to new disks
When you recreate the SA, the MSSearch Service instance is recreated in the
path defined by the msExchDataPath attribute of the virtual server instance.
You have modify the attribute to point to the location that you want the
folder containing the gatherer logs to created prior to recreating the SA.
ADSIEdit.msc is a resource kit tool you can use to change the attribute.

Re: Move EVS to new disks
Hi John
Did the steps at the weekend..
Something in the MTA (I think) still looking for M:\ I couldn't find
anything in ESM, ADSIEdit or local/cluster registry. So I took the course of
least resistance and created an M: drive on the SAN.
Thanks for all your tips - I'd never have thought of ADSIedit.
