How to move content folder...

Hi.
I need to move content folder from one local disk to another local disk. Is
there a way to do this ?!? Is there a Microsoft Knowledge base that describe
this ?!?
Could Microsoft Technet article:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Window....mspx?mfr=true ("To migrate only local content") help me ?

Thank you very much for your answer.

wsusutil /movecontent

There are 10 type of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.

I'm glad I read this before posting my next question..."how do you move or
make room in a WSUS Content location?". Wsusutil will apparently do both
along with the "/deleteunneededrevisions" option. Are there any other means
of deleting old content?

When our IT crew installed WSUS, I don't think they had a clue as to how
much space would be needed for updates. If we can't find another disk to
move the content to, "trimming the fat" would be our only other alternative.

See http://wsus.editme.com/MowingtheGrass although the page seems somewhat
broken.

I run a batch job monthly. All I then need to do is decline any content I don't
need once in a while. Usually I decline only superceded updates.. I will decline
all W2K content once all system are XP/Vista/W2003 and remove the product from
WSUS sync. The batch file will then clean up for me.

By then I expect I will be on WWSUS 3.0 (or System Centre Essentials) :-)

There are 10 type of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.

Thanks, Dave. Once again, you have been most helpful. --BobD
