What logs exist on an Exchange Hub Server that should be moved off the C:\ drive?

Question

I'm trying to move any logs, queues, etc off the default C:\ drive, but am having trouble locating all the various settings.

This gets tougher when you consider diagnostic logging, and everything else.

Is there a comprehensive list of settings that need to be changed to move all "data" off the C:\ drive and onto a secondary drive?

are you moving them on to seperate spindles for performance reasons? How many drives are you moving to? — Jim B, Nov 05 '11 at 03:47
It's on VMWare and I'm moving them because I believe it is a best practice to separate OS and data that may grow. — makerofthings7, Nov 05 '11 at 04:35
AFAIK there is no best practice to simply seperate the OS from the application other than for performance reasons. As there is a related question here (http://serverfault.com/questions/20600/are-there-compelling-reasons-to-separate-boot-and-data-on-a-server-to-increase) I've added more explanations there — Jim B, Nov 06 '11 at 18:40
If you have a heavy-usage server you might want to consider moving Event Log to a separate location. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315417/ — Vick Vega, Nov 09 '11 at 00:24
