Change updates drive on WSUS server

[Bhuvan]

I was just thinking how to change the drive to which the updates are downloaded on to the WSUS Server without having to reinstall WSUS? Can anybody tell me is there a way to do this? Thanks.

You can always do the wsusutil movecontent logfile.log D:\WSUS. The D:\WSUS folder should exist before executing the command documentation which is in 'wsusutil /?'

Thanks, I tried what you have suggested: wsusutil movecontent logfile.log e:\WSUS and e:drive is NTFS mounted and WSUS exists, but it will fail with an error message that states "Fatal Error: You must specify an existing absolute, local path on an NTFS partition for the new content file location." So, it seems like I need to have to manually copy the files using xcopy. I dont know exactly what to copy over though. Will I need to copy everything in c:\WSUS over to the new folder or just c:\WSUS\WSUScontent? Thanks.

I have resolved this Fatal Error message by giving temporarily "Full Control" to everyone on E:\Wsus and Wsusutil movecontent, and it is working properly for me. Thanks.
