Where on the server are exchange mailbox files kept?

by foruseonforums . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

Our server here is seriously short of space. It got down to 2MB left earlier!!!

I have managed to get back 200MB of space by deleting some stuff, but I had this amount of space just a few days ago. SO the space taken up on the server is increasing all the time.

A thought occurred to me that maybe all the space is being taken up by exchange mailbox stores on the server. Despite my efforts to get them to delete large emails with attachments after they have read them, my bosses continue to have massive mailboxes and keep asking me to increase their mailbox allocation.

I’m a complete newb to Exchange server, so have no idea where mailbox files are kept, and if I found them, no idea how to move them to a different hard disk without affecting everyone (we have a second hard disk in the server that has oodles of space).

Can anybody help or clarify where these files are stored?
