Transferring of Enterprise Vault logs to another location
Exchange Server 2007 was installed on a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition whose C drive has a disk size of ~30 GB. In less than two years time, the free space available on C drive is less than 2 GB. {High Alert! High Alert!}. First thing after a bit of googling was to see where the Exchange logs are being written. Unfortunately, Exchange logs are being written on a separate drive. So now, further googling needs to be done on what is eating up the spaces on the C drive.
We had Enterprise Vault 2007 (EV) as an email archiving tool. EV for Outlook Web Access writes some kind of logs in "C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault\OWA 2007\logs" and that thing is eating up almost 10GB of space. So i had to transfer the logs and any new logs need to be written to a new location on a separate drive to free up the space. The steps take to do so are as follows:
If space is getting too limited than, you can check on transferring the IIS log files or as last resort transfer the pagefile.sys.

- Within the IIS Manager right-click on the OWA virtual directory and select properties
- Select the ASP.NET tab
- Then choose 'Edit Configuration...
- On the 'General' tab review the current 'Application settings,then modify them by adding "EnterpriseVault_LogFolder" - "and the new log folder location"
- For me, I check for 2 days before transferring the rest of the logs created to the new location.
