Windows Server - Move SBSMonitoring DB on SBS 2008 Std

i want to move the SBSMonitoring DB files (mdf,ldf) from one disk to another.
i know technicly how to do it but am not sure if that is supported.

You can move just about every database with wizards
If I may, ask?
Why you need to move this database?
SBS2008 can change Volume Sizes so if you are running out of space you can
re arrange drive sizes.

These wizards are interlaced, so the "I doubt" is literal; they have surprised me by rebuilding stuff to get wrong. In general I am not a fan of black box computing. Running wizards without knowing what the wizard is doing is not very appealing, even if it leads workable solution. Indeed, what happens the next time something breaks, should one begin blindling running wizards one by one, with hope and a prayer? Besides, there is nothing being done in cannot easily be done using the tools given. So the advice to "try" the various wizards you list is not very helpful to me. Your item 3 is exactly what I same trap as I did. Regards, Rob Rob No offense, But actually not running the wizards are probably where it went wrong.
