Re: Move inetpub directory

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello Subhas,
Like Cris pointed out, moving inetpub would take a
reinstall of IIS. Please refer to the following article:
How to reinstall Internet Information Services 6.0 in Windows Small Business
Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=887305 . A word of caustion though,
majority of SBS components are heavily dependant on IIS and a reinstall of
IIS would mean that you break your companyweb, remote web workplace,
monitoring and other assorted websites. To be frank, freeing up space should
never be a reason for reinstalling IIS, you might just end up making things
worser. As an alternative you can move individual data components using the
following whitepaper:

The final decision I will leave to your discretion.

Thanks and Regards,
Vishal Pipraiya

I would like to move inetpub directory from c drive to another drive, as it
is taking up too much space. I was thinking of just moving it over and
changing the home directory path in IIS config, but I was wondering if
there
is a wizard to do this, since things can get problematic in SBS when you
do
not use the wizards. Could someone please provide the necessary steps to
do
so?
