[afnog] Windows Server 2008 C Drive full error

[Antonio Godinho]

check if shadow copies is enabled on the server, that will keep loads of file versions. Also look at the updates folders under windows folder which keeps the rollback files for all updates done, if you do not need to rollback any recent updates you may delete all those files and leave only the most recent ones.

The best way to handle them is to enable windows server backup (an exchange plugin which removes those exchange log files after they're backed up).

The databases are located on a different drive D: drive.I tried to look at every single folder and file to see what is filling that drive. I did not find any solution. With the different forums i did not get any answer to this. Note that We have a Kaspersky Antivirus running.Please give me a help and orientation on this. We are running in Vmware environment and on Windows Server 2008.
