I ran the Microsoft Exchange Best Practices Analyser on my CCR mailbox server and I'm getting warnings regarding the checkpoint file placement. I ran the powershell command to move the storage group path to a new location and ran a new Best Practice report. The same warnings appeared again. These warnings appear for all of my storage groups. How can I resolve this issue? Any help would greatly be appriciated. Thank you!

Before you had LOG and DB in same volume ?. Now after move LOG file path did you tried to reseed SG ?. Try to reseed SG once and ryb EXBpa. MS does not recommned to keep DB and LOG on same Disk drive (LUN) which may cause for these alerts in EXBPA report. Anil

Hi Anil, Thank you for your reply. No, my logs and database files are on different volumes. I will try to reseed and then run EXBpa once again. Martin.

Tried reseeding. Same message in EXBpa.

Run this: Get-StorageGroup | ft name,logfolderpath,systemfolderpath Fpr each storage grop, are both folder paths the same? If not, you may need to change the systemfolderpath to be the same as the logfolderpath. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Rich, My logs and databases are located on seperate volumes. Is this why i'm getting these warnings in EXBpa? I was under the impression that the log files and the database files should not reside on the same volume. Is this correct? Thanks again for your help.

What directories are in the output? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi, The logfolderpath and Systemfolderpath are for the StorageGroup, which is different from the Database path. You should ensure the systemfolderpath and logfolderpath are identical. Thanks AllenAllen Song

Problem solved! I modified the logfolderpath to match the systemfolderpath. Thank you both for your help.
