Relocating Unity Folder?

[Logicalis Managed Services]

We have a client who has unfortunately had their Unity Commserv directory installed on the C drive, which has precious little space to expand. The lack of space has caused problems in the past because message audio files could not be temporarily copied.

The D drive is very empty, and it's where we usually install this folder. My idea for resolving this issue is to move those files off to D: and then mounting that filesystem to the Commserv folder on C:. Is there any aspect of how Unity works that might make this a bad idea?

Thanks in advance for your input.

So what else is on your c-drive? Perhaps you have exchange database and logging on that drive too.

Then there is the pagefile. You can move that to the d-drive but the caveat is that "If you move the Paging file from the system partition, Windows cannot write debug information to the disk in the event of a "Stop Error" message (blue screen error)"
