Half an hour after returning to work from two weeks sick leave I felt like I haven’t been away. The first half hour was primarily filled with a sea of colleagues all chasing up requests or making new requests. Not that I mind too much of course - after all it’s best to be busy than not busy.

Fortunately, performing system checks revealed that the Exchange 2007 Server was down to 175Mb free space and was about to start complaining about it - put a tick in that box and now it has over 12Gb free. It makes me wonder why - as the server knew it was running out of disk space on its system partition why it wasn’t clever enough to realise that there were plenty of other disks available with dozens of Gb free - and utilise them instead. It’s the sort of thing that sounds quite obvious really.
