SYMPTOMS
You may notice an unusually large number of transaction log files being created in the Program Files\Exchsrvr\Mdbdata folder. These files may be created at approximately the same time on a nightly or weekly basis.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if you are scanning drive M with antivirus software.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, make sure that you do not scan drive M or the Exchsrvr folders with antivirus software.



MORE INFORMATION
To properly protect your Exchange 2000 Server computer from viruses, you must use antivirus software that is Exchange 2000-aware. If you also need file-level protection on your server, you must make sure that you exclude drive M and also all of the Exchsrvr folders. Please note that you may have Exchsrvr folders on multiple drives.

For more information about how to exclude drives with your Exchange 2000-aware antivirus agent, refer to that product's documentation.
