Change File Paths

[Phil Angus]

Hi all,

What is the best way to change the file path to the download section? I
could not see anywhere during the installation (the installation used is SCE
2007) to change the destination of the shares from C:\SCE.

In the end I did this:

1) stop all the services on the SCE server
2) Note the share and security user settings
3) Delete shares under C:\SCE
4) Create D:\SCE
5) Recreate shared folders in D:\SCE and assign user security settings.
6) Copy all data from C:\SCE to D:\SCE
7) Edit the path in IIS web setting properties.
8) Search the registry for C:\SCE and change to D:\SCE

Restart the services. I don't think I've missed anything and everything
seems to work but what a palaver!

Regards,

Phil

For a native WSUS server, that would be:

wsusutil movecontent.

The utility is contained in %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools
and is fully documented in the WSUS Operations Guide.

Syntax help is available from wsusutil /?

SCE, however, is a slightly different animal, and I'd caution you to review
the SCE documentation prior to using the WSUS native tools. I've not looked
at SCE since the original beta wayBackWhen, so I cannot provide any
expertise in that environment.

The last two would be the critical factors, and that's what the wsusutil
movecontent command would do on a native server, so I think you're likely
covered well here.
