Exchange 2013: after moving log file paths, .log file names changed from 'E' to 'e'. is it expected?

Hello,

I have installed Exchange 2013 SP1 standalone setup, moved Database and log to another drive, then i have checked  .JRS files names start with E01 and .Log files names start with e00 (unfortunately, i didnot check after installation). how it make any difference? My Exchange server works fine, able to create new user, send/ receive E-mails.

Please help me out to understand naming convention difference i.e file name start with 'E' and 'e'. Also would like to know that, why does it happen? As i am aware that, generally both log file names start with same charector and know that 'E00' naming convention. 

.Jrs file name start with 'E00' and .Log file name start with 'e00'

Thanks,

Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,

Even though its a bug, I don't see how it affects your servers.

Can you describe the process of moving the database used, Is it this.

Move-DatabasePath:

My testing with and without "-ConfigurationOnly" didn't change the case though.

Hi Satyajit,

Thanks for your reply!!!

I would suggest to ignore .JRS log file names from this query or thread. (Accordingly i have updated query/ thread title to get correct info)

Today, as i mentioned that, after moving log file paths, .log file names changed from 'E' to 'e'. I would like to know that, is it expected behaviour when we are changing log file path? Because after changing log file path, newly generated .log files at changed path start with 'E'.

Thanks & Regards,

Sudhir

Hi Satyajit,

Yes, I used Move-DatabasePath: command.

Yeah, it does not affect on my exchange server, but i have seen above observation and i just want to get whether it's expected or not. Now as per your reply it seems like a bug.

Kindly request to provide MSDN link which state that, it's bug, will more helpful for me.

Thanks,

Sudhir
