I need to move a 500GB mail store from the C; drive of a Exchange 2016 VM to the D: of the same server. I'm planning on using the Tutorial on this site. Anybody have a time estimate for how long to move the store? I need to tell the owner about how long the email will be shut down.
Also, would it be a good idea to create a check point before this operation?
Change of plan. Management is hesitant about shutting down email. Rather than dance with them about timing, would be better to create a new database in the new locations and merge the mailboxes to the new database without any disruption in service?
