IIS 8.5 - What's Best Way to Move INETPUB directory to Another Drive?

Does anyone have step by step process moving IIS 8.5 INETPUB directory to Another Drive? Running Windows Server 2012 R2.
Thanks.

Moving that folder is very straight forward. Unlike some folders relating to windows services, the standard inetpub folder is simply the default location that sites run from, it doesn't define where new sites go when you set them up.
So, simply create your new inetpub folder on the required drive, and give it the same permissions as the standard one as a baseline. When you setup new sites you're asked to enter the path that the site will be found, at which point you simply point to the
site to the relevant folder on your chosen drive.
If you already have sites configured in IIS, simply copy the data over to the new destination, configure the permissions to the same as the source folder, and then in IIS select each site on by one, on the right hand pane click on Basic Settings... and then
edit the Physical path to where the new folder is. Once you've done that the site will be using the new folder. You can then removed the old folder, though personally I'd wait until you've had chance to fully test it and ensure everything is working as it
should be (eg you haven't missed any permissions).

  • Whats the best way to move files from a hard drive that wont boot?

    I made a bootable USB disk and it appears to work fine. I can still read and open files on the old disk (admin account only) from the new USB drive the old one doesn't boot. I don't have a backup but would like to move files to the USB and then reformat the old drive. 
    Whats the best way to capture the data?
    There are four user accounts on the old drive. Only one on the new drive so far. Do I need to set up four accounts on the new drive in order to copy data from each?

    Time Machine is for making backups and restoring ones it previously created. It doesn't restore data backed up or copied in other ways. In your case, it's better to use a cloning utility or manually drag the files than it is to use Time Machine.

  • What is the right way to move a directory to another drive?

    When I move a directory to another location using drag and drop in the Elements 11 Organizer folder tree most, if not all, of the images become unlinked. What is the right way to move a directory and have the image paths updated in the Organizer database? Thanks.

    That's something I just did successfully one hour ago...
    I suppose your are in the 'folder' view with full folder tree, not in the 'My folder' view which only shows the lower subfolder level recorded in the database.
    Do you try to move a folder with its subfolders ?

  • I am moving from PC to Mac.  My PC has two internal drives and I have a 3Tb external.  What is best way to move the data from the internal drives to Mac and the best way to make the external drive read write without losing data

    I am moving from PC to Mac.  My PC has two internal drives and I have a 3Tb external.  What is best way to move the data from the internal drives to Mac and the best way to make the external drive read write without losing data

    Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
    Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

  • What is best way to move pictures from laptop to EHD pse10

    I have gotten differing views on the best way to move my pictures from my laptop (to free up space) to an EHD while keeping PSE10 on my computer.  When I want to do something in PSE10 I would connect my EHD.
    It has been suggested to follow the pse10 "back up" procedure but there are no directions on how to get the program to read the EHD after the back up is made (so pse10 can find my pictures on the EHD).
    It has been suggested to do a "drag and drop" procedure but I have not been able to get step by step directions for this for pse10.
    Can someone please assist me in this task with good directions.  I am marginally literate in these things, probably enough to make a big mess if I tried this without consult.
    If no one can answer this is there a next level that one can go to?
    I have tried chat with Adobe help and they won't help me because I do not have the newest version of pse.

    One more thing...
    I have a MacBook pro that I'm using to connect to the thunderbolt drives. I believe I should be able to just connect my pc to the Mac via an Ethernet cable and network them, yes? Well, I tried that and could not get it to work. My pc never saw the new network.
    You see, part of the problem actually has nothing to do with the transfer process at all. The movie comes with 12tb of footage files. That's ALL the footage shot during their 18 day schedule. However, only certain shots, about 4tb worth, made it into the final cut of the film, and the editor did not separate those shots out for me. So now, I am responsible for manually sifting through all the footage and copying over just the shots that made the final cut. I have a list of the shots needed, and I have an exfat formatted 500gb usb2 drive that so far is performing as well as out can, but it's an incredibly slow process that is compounded by the slow, usb2, copy speeds I'm currently getting.
    Would a network connection handling such large amounts of transfers be faster than usb 2?
    And also, I tried a free pc utility that allows my pc to read and write to Mac drives, but the transfer speed was so slow that I abandoned that strategy. Would Paragon have faster speeds?

  • Best way to move iTunes library from network drive to NAS drive?

    Hi all,
    I need to move my iTunes library which currently lives on a Buffalo network drive to a new Synology NAS drive.
    What is the best way to move the library?
    Thanks,

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • Best way to move to an external boot drive

    I going to move my main iMac boot drive to an external as I need to be able to pick it up and go and use it on the move with my MBP.
    What is the best way to clone the iMac's internal and then put it on the external. Both drives are 320GB in size.
    Can I use CCC or should I use disk utility from the boot DVD to create an image and then restore it to the external? My thinking behind the Boot DVD way is that nothing will be running when I do it...
    Regards

    Normally doesn't matter. The code running the machine is stored in RAM. CCC and other cloning apps duplicate what's stored on disk. The only problem you might run into is if you try to save something while you're cloning. For your purposes, since you're doing this for the first time, run CCC, and go get a coffee and a danish. Or, just watch what's taking place.

  • Is there a way to move garageband content to another drive/location?

    Hi, I have the latest version of Garageband and Mainstage on my Mac Pro.I use a 60gb SSD as my boot drive for performance, and have a second HDD for data.
    Is there a way to move all the large content i.e. Loops, instruments, video tutorials etc to my second HDD but keep the main Garageband/ Mainstage apps on my SSD bootdrive?
    I want to try and avoid using up too much space on my SSD and from what i can find online, it seems its possible to do this on the earlier versions of garageband.
    Thanks

    the loops are fairly easy to move (moving the instruments and other system files is not reccomended):

  • Whats the best way to move from mac mini server to Mac pro server?

    Hi everyone. I am currently running a mac mini server and it's maxed out. I have just purchased a Mac Pro server and I was wondering if anyone has moved there data in a similar scenario. Is it as simple as restoring a time machine backup to the new server? Any insight would most appreciated as I need this to go smoothly. Thank you.

    Apple's official Time Machine documentation says NOT to use TM to back up an entire server.
    The reason being is that it will NOT properly back up your databases.  The three in question most often used with OS X server is the Mail DB, the MySQL DB and the Open Directory.
    Database experience tells me that reason behind their not supporting Databases is the issue with reading info that's being written to or read from while TM is doing it's thing.  It's likely that if the server is under load when the time machine backs up, you're going to get an inconsistent copy.
    The ONLY apple documented GUI method of restoring a server is by using the Setup Assistant during the initial setup of a server.  (using a firewire cable to connect and having your old server in target disk mode)
    This in fact I would say is the most reliable method of migration. 
    (my 2 cents)
    Write more and let us know how the new server works on a continual basis!  I've not heard of anyone having a successful restore taken from a live server.

  • Best way to move files to external hard drive

    Hi All,
    My internal hard drive is nearly full.  I''ve bought a 2TB external hard drive to copy my Aperture library to. 
    I'm working on a 27" iMac (10.6.8), with a 1TB hd and Aperture 2.0.  External hard drive is an Omega eGo with firewire 800 (Mac Format).
    Looking at some of the posts here, its seems that the simplest method is to copy the library (drag and drop) to a folder on the external HD.  Then double click to open, at which point this will be the default library.  After checking all ok, delete the original library.
    I've also read suggestions that running your library on an external hard drive compromises speed, and that the files should be referenced externally with the library running internally for maximum performance.
    Can anyone give me some advice as the best method to work work from the external hard drive?  All my files are currently managed (around 820 GB)
    I like the idea of something so simple as drag and drop to change my library's location, the delete the old one. but if I'm going to switch to external hd, I'd like to set it up correctly, from the start.
    Thanks for your help.
    Richard

    Why not do this. Copy the library over to the external drive, leave the library on the internal drive alone for the moment and run off the external library.
    If Aperture performs OK for your needs leave the library on the external and delete the library on the internal drive. During this period of testing you could switch between the two in order to get  a real fell for how one performs over the other.
    If it turns out that  having the library on the external drive is causing problems then keep the library on the internal drive and switch to a referenced master setup with the masters on the external drive.
    Remember that while you are testing this out and switching between the two libraries changes made to one library ill not be reflected in the other. So just use this time for testing and make sure any work you do in one library you can redo in the other.

  • Best way to move Oracle database to another machine

    Hello,
    I'm trying to find the best solution for that case:
    On first Unix machine I'm running 10g database. Whole oracle (binary files + datafiles + index + redo) takes about 350GB from my first storage.
    On second Unix machine (and second storage) I'd like to run exactly the same instance (the first one is going to be a backup server).
    I work in real OLTP environment, and I can only afford a 4-5 hours of downtime (in the night) to move from server 1. to 2.
    Could you recommend me the best solution for moving database to no. 2. My problem is, that between storage 1. and storage 2. I've only 30MB/s bandwidth, sequence:
    1) instance_on_1: shutdown immediate
    2) scp /u01/oracle server2:/u01/oracle
    3) instance_on_3: startup
    will take about 3-4 hours, so I would have no time to additional tasks.
    Best regards

  • Best way to move all music to new hard drvie and computer

    I'm updating my existing computer, will be installing Vista home premium to new hard drive on new computer, using some of my existing hardware - setting up existing hard drive as secondary drive to move data over - I was hoping to backup all itunes files to the hard drive and then restore from backup to new drive but I can only backup to DVD - which i dont want to do. Once Itunes is setup on the new computer, whats the best way to move all files from the old directory without losing the purchased folder and all settings? thanks.

    Make the drive name the same as the old one, or point to the first file when asked. PR will then find the rest of the files, at least if they are in the same directory.

  • What is the best way to move multiple formats of songs/photos/podcasts to a new computer?

    For most of my life, I have used my family's home Windows desktop to establish my iTunes account with my iPod Classic (5th gen). On this computer I have:
    iTunes store purchases
    CD imports
    Other MP3 files
    Podcasts
    Photos downloaded from online
    Now I am in college in another city, and I won't be able to come home much, so I'm setting up iTunes on my laptop as my new "home base", as it were. I've already authorized it under the same account that I use on my desktop. What is the best way to move all of this stuff from my old computer to my new one? I'm thinking an external hard drive is the best decision, but I want the input of the Apple community. You guys are much more knowledgable than I am! Thanks!

    Hey Alayna,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question! I'm not really in a position to recommend a "best" option, as there are several different ways to go. You can read over your options in the following document and decide which one works best for you:
