By default there are 2 stores created in Exchange2K: the Mailbox store (with its associated databases: priv1.edb and priv1.stm) and the Public Folder store (with its associated databases: pub1.edb and pub1.stm). With Exchange 2K server (vs. Enterprise edition), only one mailbox store is supported but multiple public folder stores are supported. Exchange 2K will support a total of 20 stores. Each store has a maximum size of 16GB in Exchange 2K Server (16TB in the Enterprise edition). Therefore moving stores can get to be VERY time consuming.
Moving these databases is done from Exchange Administrator. You need to find the folder for the appropriate store (probably located under First Storage Group). Right click the folder and choose Properties. Click the Database tab. Click the browse button next to either database and specify the new location for the files. Understand that moving the files will cause the store to be dismounted which causes users to be disconnected with no warning.
