Hello Team

At present Exchange Transaction Logs in Logs(L : ) Drive (400GB) . after purge total 5GB Only it takes in Drive.
We planned to reduce the Transaction Logs Drive from Logs(L : ) Drive (400GB) to Created New Drive Logs(M : ) Drive (20GB)

Now i would like to Exchange PowerShell command for Moving Transaction Logs from Logs(L : ) Drive (400GB) to Created New Drive Logs(M : ) Drive (20GB)
Note:- DB's are already in Different Drives.

Only my concern is moving Logs without any impact. During logs move any impact to exchange Server?

    Hi @Sathishkumar Singh ,

    In addition to Andy's advice, here are some things you need to know:

    How are you going to use PowerShell to move logs?

    If you use the Move-DatabasePath cmdlet, please note: It will dismount the database temporarily, so it will cause you downtime. We recommend that you perform the move during off-hours.
