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:

  1. Cut and Past the RemoteInstall Directory to where you'd like it.
  2. Reshare the RemoteInstall directory as REMINST
  3. Open regedit and change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\TFTPD\Parameters\Directory to the new location of RemoteInstall.
  4. 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:

  1. Move the Distribution directory to where you'd like it.
  2. 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.
