Moving Exchange Files to a NAS System The registry entries for DFS links are stored in the Cluster registry key, which is replicated on all servers in the cluster. Therefore, all Exchange servers in the cluster store the configuration of all remotely stored Exchange storage groups on all of the servers. Note For information about the Exchange cluster configurations the Feature Pack supports, see Chapter 1, "Planning a Deployment." For information about how the DFS configurations are replicated within an Exchange cluster when the Feature Pack is installed, see Chapter 2, "Installing the Feature Pack." Choosing a Remote Storage Tool You can use either the Remote Storage Wizard or WSSExchMove.exe to move Exchange databases and transaction logs to a Windows Storage Server computer. There are some differences, however, between the two remote storage tools. The Remote Storage Wizard guides you through the process of configuring the current Exchange storage group to store its databases and transaction logs on a Windows Storage Server computer and, optionally, moves the files to the shared folders. The WSSExchMove.exe command-line tool offers the same capabilities as the Remote Storage Wizard. In addition, you can use the tool to: Script an unattended move. Copy the Exchange files to their destination locations without deleting the original files. Map a different drive on the local Exchange server for use by Exchange. View the current configuration of Exchange storage groups on the local Exchange server. Both remote storage tools must be run from the local Exchange server. Table 3.1 Comparison of the Remote Storage Wizard and WSSExchMove.exe Remote Storage Task Perform a full move of Exchange databases and transaction logs, deleting the files from their original locations. Tool Remote Storage Wizard WSSExchMove.exe Perform a configuration update without moving the physical files. Perform a full move without deleting the original files.

Change the drive letter used for shares that host Exchange databases and transaction logs on Windows Storage Server computers. * The Remote Storage Wizard includes an option for displaying the Detailed Report log file when the wizard completes.
