Hi, How do i manually delete transaction log files in Exchange 2007. Did it a few time in exchange 2003 but seems to be diffrent in 2007. So prob just need to commands that will tell me what the last committed log file is.

Is there a reason why you dont want to run an incremental or full backup to clear the log files?Mark Morowczynski|MCT| MCSE 2003:Messaging, Security|MCITP:EMA 2K7,EDA Win 7,ES,SA,EA|MCTS:Windows Mobile Admin|Security+|http://almostdailytech.com

Enable Circular Logging, dismount the database and mount the database.If you can't do Circular Logging then you will need to use eseutil /mk to locate the last good log file and move the ones out and eventually delete them.Take a look here:XADM: Using Eseutil to Determine Which Logs Have Been Committedhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/182961SF - MCITP:EMA, MCTS: Exchange 2010, Exchange 2007, MOSS 2007, OCS 2007 -- http://www.scottfeltmann.com

He "did it a few time in exchange 2003 but seems to be different in 2007."Was searching myself for information on this, but did not find any good link. Is the procedure different?MCTS: Messaging | MCSE: S+M | Small Business Specialist

Hi, We were running out if disk space and could not receive any more mail so i had to delete some Log ASAP. I did run a backup after i deleted enough logs to receive mail again. For some reason our monitoring software did not pic up that the server was almost out of space. The backup is now completed but it did not clear the logs. Used windows backup on Win 2008... What could the reason for this be? I also ran the commands as on Exchange 2003 and it is the same on Exchange 2007. You must run it under Command Prompt and not Exchange Command prompt. I do actually want to enable circular logging but every time i see the warnings i decide against it. Think i would rather just let either backups remove them or do it manually. Thanks.... So the answer is that exchange 2007 manual removal of backups is the same as Exchange 2003

Or you could do daily full backups. When backups are ran it should remove transaction logs that are no longer needed. SF - MCITP:EMA, MCTS: Exchange 2010, Exchange 2007, MOSS 2007, OCS 2007 -- http://www.scottfeltmann.com

Windows Server Backup on Windows 2008 prior to Exchange 2007 Service Pack 2 will not delete the transaction logs. Once you install Exchange 2007 SP2, Windows Server Backup includes a plugin which is Exchange aware and your transaction logs will be deleted.
