I have 3 or 4 Windows 2008 R2 servers that keep running out of hard drive space, and then I have to keep appending and so on
So, today I looked a little more in detail and I found most of my space (76.1GB) is used by the folder C:\windows\logs\cbs which has CBS.log and CbsPersist_Dateandtime.log and some cab files.
I have some persist files over 9GB, actually the top ten files use 62GB together.
I did some search, but it seems weird that mainly 2008R2 seem to have this problem.
For a while I though the updates were the cause, but most of the searches show CBS as a sfc result (and I haven't run SFC manually, and the servers only restart when there is windows updates)
Any idea what this folder is really for, and why it gets so big in the 2008R2 servers? While we are at it, maybe we can find a solution too :p
