Assistance with Database Transaction log relocation
Dear Exchange Community,
Recently, I have been tasked to relocate the Database log files and folders to another partition. to elaborate further, I have 2 mailbox servers with DAG configured and 4 Databases. As everyone is aware, one partition for databases and one dedicated for DBs logs (On both servers). I would like to know how can I do this, What are the requirements? and what precautionary measures should I take in order to minimize the failure or even database corruption.
Any help regarding this matter would be appreciated a lot
Thanks
Use Move-DatabasePath in Exchange Management Shell to move the log files. Do it during maintenance, confirm recent backups, check DAG replication health, and ensure the new drive has proper space and permissions. Move one database at a time to reduce risk.

Don't forget that the DB and log file path needs to be the same on all servers in a DAG that contain a copy of the mailbox database.

Thank you for the reply, appreciate it.
Use Move-DatabasePath in Exchange Management Shell to relocate database logs safely. Do it during maintenance, ensure recent backups, verify replication health in DAG, and move one database at a time. Always confirm the new path has enough space and proper permissions before proceeding.
Thanks for the reply, will do.
