Table 3.3 WSSExchMove.exe Parameters Used to Move Exchange Files
Parameter Description
server Specifies the name of the Exchange server that owns the Exchange databases and
transaction logs that are to be moved.
This is the local Exchange server unless the Exchange server is clustered. For an
Exchange cluster, enter the name of the virtual server.
Note: When moving a storage group for an Exchange cluster, all servers in the cluster
must be online.
storagegroup Specifies the storage group for which transaction logs and/or database files are to be
moved.
/l location Specifies the destination location for the transaction logs for the storage group.
If the destination is on a Windows Storage Server computer, location is the UNC path
of the destination share. If the destination is the local Exchange server, enter the full
path
to the destination folder.
/s store location /s store location specifies a store from the designated storage group that is to be
moved and the destination location for the store.
If the destination is on a Windows Storage Server computer, enter the UNC path of the
destination share. If the destination is the local Exchange server, enter the full path to
the destination folder.
The same share will host both the database (.edb) file and the streaming database
(.stm) file for a store.
You can move multiple stores by using a single command.
For syntax examples and information about the additional options that WSSExchMove.exe
provides, see Help for the Remote Storage Tools, on the Exchange server in
%ProgramFiles%\Windows Storage Server\Exchange\RemoteStorage.chm.
Notice
Only one instance of WSSExchMove.exe should be run on an Exchange server at any time. For a
cluster of Exchange servers, run only one instance of WSSExchMove.exe on the virtual server at any
time.
Verifying a Successful Move
Whenever a remote storage tool for Exchange is used, a Detailed Report log file is saved that
contains the current configuration of storage groups on the Exchange server and the status of the
shares that are currently hosting Exchange files on Windows Storage Server computers. If the
Exchange server is clustered, the report gives information about all storage groups on all virtual
Exchange servers in the cluster.
The final section of the report logs errors and messages that were generated during the process.
You can use this information to troubleshoot problems with a move.
The log files are numbered sequentially and given the name Detailed Report - 01.log, Detailed
Report - 02.log, and so forth. Each log file is stored in the My Documents\Windows Storage
Server Logs\ folder of the current user.
When you use the Remote Storage Wizard, you can display the log file after the move is
completed. WSSExchMove.exe includes a parameter for displaying the current configuration in
the command window at any time.
