Re: Moving Print Server Shares print$ &

You can change the IE temp location to d:.


I don't have many Server 2003 systems any longer but I also attempt to
remove files from \system32\dllcache. Just check there as another location
for clean up.

Alan Thanks for the info. The pm.log is 162kb nothing to serious in terms
of
size. Given your reponse I'll revert the shares back to their original
setup.
Plan B I'll compress the documents and setting folders and set explorer
"temporary internet file folder to 1mb from 127mb. Restart install some
applications to the d drive - such as Mcafee.

Thank you!

You can change the print$ share but any new drivers added to the machine
would need to be manually copied to the new location and you won't solve
the
original drive space issue

Print Mig creates a big log file when you run it locally. Check under
%systemroot%\system32\spool\pm for logs that can be moved.

Running a Windows 2003 server and I'm running low on C drive space. So
I've
done the following
1. Repointed the spooler directory using print server properties ->
Advanced
-> D:\ blah blah
2. There are also two default shares print$ which point to
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers and prtprocs$
C:\WINDOWS\system32\prtprocs\w32x86. The print$ share as some 300 mb
of
files in it.
3. I copies the content of both folder to the D drive repoint the
shares
to
the D drive and mirrored the share and NTFS permission. I did not
delete
the
original location at this point.
4. Restarted the server and I can print. But when I run the Print
Migrator
tool and locate the drive path for any of the printers they still point
to
the C drive. Because of that I'm afraid to delete the folders.

Is there another step or a registery hack I need to perform? Any help
would
be
appreciated
