Current AD Location contains the mapped drive version of the UNC path, which Exchange uses.

For example, remotely stored Exchange transaction logs with the UNC path
\\storageserver01\Exchange_TLOGS might have an AD location of S:\{storageserver01.0},
where S: is the local drive letter mapped for Exchange shares on Windows Storage Server
computers and {storageserver01.0} is the link name that was assigned when the transaction logs
were moved to the Windows Storage Server computer, storageserver01.

If these two addresses point to the same physical location, the link target for the link matches the
UNC path in the Current Location. To check this, look for the Link Target that is associated with
the Link Name in the “Distributed File System Structure” section, later in the Detailed Report
log file. The link name is the portion of the AD Location that is enclosed in curly brackets; the
curly brackets are part of the name. In the example, the Link Target for the {storageserver01.0}
link is \\storageserver01\Exchange_TLOGS, indicating that the two settings represent the same
physical location.

Log Files

The “Log Files” section reports whether any action was taken on the transaction logs for the
Exchange storage group, and indicates both their physical location and the location that is
configured in Active Directory.

Item

Description

Original Location

The location of the transaction logs on the Exchange server before any action was
taken.

Action Requested

The action that was performed on the transaction logs: Configuration Update,
Relocate, or None.

Action Result

The result of the requested action, indicating whether the operation succeeded or
failed.

Current Location

The physical path of the transaction logs after any requested action is performed. If
the logs are stored on the local Exchange server, this is the full path to the
destination folder. If the logs are stored on a Windows Storage Server computer, this
is the UNC path of the destination share — for example,
\\storageserver01\Exchange_TLOGS.

Current AD Location

The path that is currently stored in Active Directory, which Exchange uses to locate
the transaction logs. If the logs are stored on a Windows Storage Server computer,
this is the mapped drive version of the UNC path — for example,
S:\{storageserver01.0}.

System Files

The “System Files” section reports the Current Location and the Current AD Location for the
system files for the Exchange database. Because the remote storage tools do not move these
files, the Current Location and the Current AD Location should be a local path on the Exchange
server, and the two locations should be identical.

Item

Description

Current Location

The physical path of the system files.

Current AD Location

The path that is currently stored in Active Directory, which Exchange uses to locate its
system files.
