When you’ve a large Exchange environment, it’s recommended to change the location of the Hub Transport queue. To do this, you can use the following script. The default location is the folder where you’ve installed Microsoft Exchange. For example C:\Program Files\…
1.) Navigate to the file EdgeTransport.exe.config, located in the Bin directory of the Exchange installation folder.
2.) Search for the rules QueueDatabasePath and QueueDatabasesLoggingPath. This is the orrigional location
3.) Open the Exchange Management Shell
4.) Browse to the scripts directory in the Exchange installation folder
5.) Select the script Move-TransportDatabase.PS1
6.) Run the following command
Move-TransportDatabase.PS1 -QueueDatabasePath NEWLOCATION -QueueDatabaseLoggingPath NEWLOCATION
In my example it’s moving to D:\Queue
7.) Now the Hub Transport database and logfiles will be moved to the new location. It’s containing the following files;
Trn.chk – The checkpoint file
Trn.log – The current transaction log file
Trntmp.log – The next provisioned transaction log file that is created in advance
Trnnnn.log – Other transaction log files that are created when Trn.log reaches its maximum size
Trnres00001.jrs – The Reserve log file
Trnres00002.jrs – The Second Reserve log file
Temp.edb – Temp DB used to verify database schema on start-up

Note for Forefront users: For those of you running Forefront Protection for Exchange, before installing the update, stop all Forefront services.
Today I’ve to create a temporary solution to backup the Exchange 2010 environment. There’s one simple solution to export all the mailboxes to PST, this is not a prevered solution for a production environment, but it works 🙂 I’ve used the following powershell commando’s.
1.) New-RoleGroup “Mailbox Import Export Group” -Roles “Mailbox Import Export”
2.) Add-RoleGroupMember “Mailbox Import Export Group” -Member “Administrator”
3.) New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox mswi -FilePath \\SRV-EXC01\Z$\Export_PST\mswi.PST
When you want to export all the mailboxes in your Exchange environment, you can use the following powershell command.
foreach ($mbx in (Get-Mailbox)) { New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox $mbx -FilePath “\\win2008srv01\c$\PST\$($mbx.Alias).pst” }
Today I had to perform a migration from Microsoft Exchange 2003 to 2010. The new “Move Mailbox” option is replaced with the “Local Move Request“. By default there’s a maximum of two threads at one time…so when you’ve to migrate 1000 users, you’ll have to wait a long time!
You can edit the maximum of two threads within the following file; MSExchangeMailboxReplication.exe.config. This file is located in the installation directory of Microsoft Exchange. In my environment it is D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\Bin
Change the following settings:
The default value (as of SP1, version 218.15, at least) seems to be 2. Change the 2 to a 5, or an 8, or whatever you’d like it to be.
Save the file, and restart the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication service. Now you can perform 5 move requests at one time!! Cool… 😉
