Small Business Server 2008 Storage Management - Vlog Slice

One of the items we focused on with Small Business Server 2008 was how to better enable more flexibility post install.  We got a lot of feedback around how difficult it was to move data repositories around, and the time and supportability complexities involved in doing so. 

OEM and System Builder configurations also benefit from this feature.  How?  Well by deploying everything to start with on to a single volume we enable you to choose how your data drive/s should be configured.  This also means that as the business expands the storage can easily expand with it.  It also gives everything as much flexibility as possible from installation and beyond when it comes to managing your storage.  Want to run everything off one drive?  No problem, but at least when you need to change the storage configuration this wizard makes things a breeze.

This feature enables you to move Exchange, Windows Update, User Redirected Documents and Shared Data from one direct connected drive to another.

I also noticed when I went back to check the time that the whole process only took 5 minutes not the initial 10 I call out in the Vlog.
