The virtual machine that I have been using to do some Desktop Deployment work ran out of space today. I notice the directories taking up all the space where the RemoteInstall and Distribution directories that belong to BDD and WDS. So I decided to add another virtual disk and move those two directories.
WDS
Moving WDS was easy, stop the WDS service then do the following:
- Cut and Past the RemoteInstall Directory to where you'd like it.
- Reshare the RemoteInstall directory as REMINST
- Open regedit and change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\TFTPD\Parameters\Directory to the new location of RemoteInstall.
- Start WDS and you're away.
BDD 2007
BDD 2007 was fairly striaght forward was well. Make sure you've closed the workbench and do the following:
- Move the Distribution directory to where you'd like it.
- Open regedit and change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BDD 2007\Distribution_Dir to the new location of the Distrubution directory.
You can also rename these directories as well.
There, that was fairly painless.
