Moving inetpub folder from C: to D: drive in IIS8

Its bit confusing in first place whether you should move the inetpub folder from C: to D: drive as there are conflicting posts on it.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2752331?wa=wsignin1.0
Secondly,how to move it also seems to be confusing.

Do i need to perform the steps in the table or the script will take care of it. Has anyone used this script before. Also the table does not seem to appear properly.
Please suggest.

  • How do I delete a folder that I moved to Trash from my external backup drive when a virus was detected? Trash will not delete the folder.

    I have tried unsuccessfully to remove a folder from Trash. My anti-virus program (Sophos) detected a virus which had to  be manually removed. I tried (unsuccessfully) to find and remove the infected file. I moved the Folder from my external backup drive and placed it in Trash. Now I cannot get Trash to delete the folder. It asks me if I wish to delete "unlocked" or "all" items. Either selection does not delete the folder. I went to change the permissions to "read & write" and unlocked the folder, but it is still there. I tried to "move" the folder from Trash back to the external harddrive but it seems I can only "copy" it and not "move" it. I am afraid that by copying it, I will not have the folder in two locations (Trash & External HD).
    Would appreciate any suggestions and guidance on this. I hope that I have explained the problem clearly!
    Thank you!

    Before deleting it we should know more about this folder and its contents.
    If it is invected and is using other apps, or other apps are still using it, then it cannot be deleted in the normal manner.
    You might contact Sophos and ask them about it.
    If you are using TM or have a backup of your system before the infection occurred, then you can delete the item(s) in Trash, but there is the possiblity of system corruption and the need for a reinstall, if any of these files are necessary for the OS to work properly, even though they are infected.
    Sophos may not have been able to remove the infection from inside a file which is why they suggested manual removal.
    You might consider downloading and running ClamXav first and see if it can't do better than Sophos.
    All that being said, you can always remove the contents of the Trash using the terminal. Usually as administrator, or in some cases as root (su). Unless you are very familiar with the terminal I do not suggest doing this without some study.

  • Yesterday I moved a folder from my portable drive to the desktop of a computer called B3. The folder

    Yesterday I moved a folder from my portable drive to the desktop of a computer called B3. The folder contained four tiff files and 16 PSD image files that I had been Photoshoping for two weeks. I dragged the folder into bridge for a quick look. Most of the fliles had been processed in Lightroom 4. When I opened the first image in PS all of the layers were gone and the image looked like it had never had anything done to it. All of the PSD images opened with the same result, no layers, weeks of work gone. I took the portable drive and plugged it into my labtop. All of the layers were there. What happened? there was no older version of the file on the drive.

    Actually that would not have had any impact. When I processed the files in Lightroom there was a software glitch and they would not open as PSD 's inPs they appeared as raw files in PS. Yes I know how to set preferences. Ok to get around that one I exported my files as PSD into a folder. After I always opened them from the folder so I don't see how the XMP files could be an issue. Also remember for two weeks I had been working using the same procedure with out any trouble@bdentonphoto: RT @Patrick_Baz: @patrickwitty: Brutal, important frontpage of the @guardiannews, heartbreaking photo from the massacre in Houla, #Syria http://t.co/7411qhUf

  • Moved iTunes folder from C: to D: now it wont recognize my library

    Can anyone help me fix what I've messed up?
    I moved my itunes folder from my loaded C: drive to D: drive (i'm partitioned with C: and D:) with a simple "move" command. Then I tried to use the ipod and itunes as normal ....wrong...it tells me that my ipod is linked to a different library and my option is to sync and lose my music on the ipod or not sync.
    Well when I open itunes none of my music shows up in the itunes library that comes up, no custom play lists etc...it's like it's back to default.
    So I moved it back to C: thinking that there was something there that was keeping C: as "the working itune drive" and it's still telling me the same thing.
    In my itunes folder I have sub-folders that show
    (album artwork)
    (ipod games)
    (ipod games library.itl)
    (itunes music) ...shows all of my music, but does not link with the library
    (itunes library.itl)
    (itunes music library.xml)
    I had no problems until I moved the itunes folder over to D: inorder to open space on my C:
    I'm a basic "search the web, word processing, load my songs on to my ipod" computer user I figured itunes on my computer was good anywhere...guess not.
    Thanks for your help.

    When you moved your iTunes folder to a new drive, you need to do a shift key start to tell iTunes to use the library in the new location.
    If you don't it will create a blank library in the delfault loaction on the c: drive.
    Hold down the shift key, start iTunes, keep holding down the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to you iTunes folder on the d: drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
    Did you do that?

  • Can I copy music iTunes Music Folder from my external Hard drive to new PC?

    not sure if this is possible but I copied my folders (documents/music/itunes/itunes music folder) from my local hard drive from laptop to my external (for backing up purposes) and now i have a new computer. can i just simply copy/paste this folder to my new computer and open itunes and it will be there. i know it's probably too easy but was hoping someone could help me out???? thanks.

    You can by dragging them from itunes to your external drive this will copy them to it. Then do the opposite for from you drive to the new computer. Just make sure if you don't intend to keep the drive connected to your new computer. That you put copies of the songs in a folder on it before putting them on itunes or you have problems playing your songs.

  • Moving a folder from internal hard drive to an expansion drive

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" with OS X v. 10.7.2. Usually, it's easy for me to drag a file or folder from one directory and drop it into another.  However, I've come across a problem that I can't seem to solve and I'm sure the solution is very simple.  I can't seem to move a folder from my Documents directory to an expansion drive.  I've tried dragging the folder in the Finder to the expansion drive icon but nothing happens.  Any ideas?

    If the external drive is in NTFS format (which is how most new drives are shipped), the Mac can't write to it. Reformat it with Disk Utility, putting it into Mac OS Extended format.

  • Moving iTunes library from one external hard drive to another, playlists

    Here's my question. I keep my iTunes library on an external drive. My 250GB extrernal drive is full, so I'm moving my entire library to a new 500GB hard drive.
    What do I have to do so my hundreds of playlists (most mixes with dozens of songs) still function once I've moved the music over?
    Do I delete everything from my old drive, then use the 'add to library' function on the entire new drive? If I do that, will iTunes be able to find the tunes in each playlist?
    Thanks!

    I DON'T MIND DRAGGING THINGS OVER; TH PROBLEM IS, WHEN I TRY TO PLAY PLAYLISTS AFTER MOVING STUFF TO THE NEW DRIVE, EVERY SONG WILL ASK "FILE NOT FOUND--WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOCATE IT?" WITH 50,000 mp3s, it will take forever to rebuild all my playlists. Is there a way to have iTunes search a new drive and recognize the songs as being the same as the ones on the old drive, so you don't have to do this manually?
    Also, if I do use the 'consolidate library' approach-- what happens if I drag all my other music folders into my itunes folder manually on the old drive, then try consolidate--will it copy EVERYTHING over to the new drive, or only the stuff that was in the iTunes music folder on the old drive from the beginning (since everything else I used "add to library' but not 'copy to itunes music folder'.
    iTunes should have some more built in utility options to allow it to find everything in the library when it moves to a new drive, even if one chooses to keep music in a different format than the 'itunes music folder' approach. .

  • Moving a Folder from explorer to Bridge

    When I move a local folder from within explorer to Bridge, the checkinhandler is triggered. However, during that operation when I call identity.getParentId(), this returns null. I think this comes from the fact that I'me adding a new classification. Is there a way to found out which folder I'me adding, so that i can add this as a classification?
    For the record, this doesn't occure when I move a folder in explorer, because than the createDirectoryHandler is called.

    Hi Nathanvdk,
    Let me make it clear.
    In Adobe Drive 3, RemoteAssetIdentity provide getParentId methond to retrieve parent id, and Adobe Drive will try its best to provide parent id to connector handler. But sometimes, Adobe Drive can't get parent id info, such as your case -- move a local folder from within explorer to Bridge. When move a local folder(for ease of description, let give a name 'folderX', and assume that there is a file callde 'fileA' in that folder) from explorer to Bridge, CheckinHandler will be invoked. If you debug it, you will find the passed in parameter remoteAssetIdentity is about 'fileA', not about 'folderX'. But at that time, Adobe Drive don't know 'folderX' because it has not created in remote server yet. Therefore, the parent id in remoteAssetIdentity of 'fileA' is null. If you drag a file to bridge or check in a file, you will find the parent id is not null.
    Hi hverlinde,
    For RemoteVersionIdentity, Adobe Drive doesn't provide getParentId info to connector. Because version's parent may be different from asset's parent. It depends on the server implementation. If you have typical use scenario, could you share it with me? My understanding is that providing getAssetParentId will be useful for PromoteVersionHandler.
    Thanks,
    Hui

  • Moving a folder from one local root folder to another

    I've used Dreamweaver CS4 to build my website, and I've become basically familiar with the way it works. Now I'm just starting to build a second site - and I've run into a baffling problem.
    I've defined the new site in the normal way, and created the local root folder.
    I've got a folder full of image files that is currently sitting in the local root folder of my old site - I'd like to put this into the local root folder of my new site.
    This may seem silly, but I can't find a way to move that images folder from one local root folder to the other. I thought it would be a simple drag & drop move, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. I've moved the images folder to the desktop, from where it should be easy to drag it over the new local root folder icon in Dreamweaver and drop it in - but it doesn't work.
    Am I missing something obvious here...?

    You should be able to access your entire computer directory structure through the Files Panel in Dreamweaver.
    Click the drop down arrow next to the named site (the open site) at the top of the Files Panel and navigate up into the rest of your computer. You can then Ctrl-C (copy) the folder, re-select the name of your site (the green folders at the bottom of the directories, not in the computer structure), and Ctrl-V (paste) the folder where you want it. Contents will of course come with it.
    You could (alternately) just copy and paste it working within the computer's directory structure. Paste it into the new root folder and, in Dreamweaver, refresh the view in the Files Panel. The folder should show up fine.
    Notice that I have not been drag and dropping, though that should work with the last-mentioned technique.

  • Moving a folder from iPhoto

    I want to know how to permanently move a folder from iPhoto to my Time Machine, while retaining easy access to that folder. I'm looking to free up some space on my hard drive. I have a MacBook Pro with 4 GB RAM and 320 GB hard drive and we're running to Yosemite operating system.

    Hi dhowiejr,
    It sounds like you want to manually backup your folder.
    OS X Yosemite: Alternatives for backing up your Mac
    Other disks
    If you have a second hard disk, you can back up files by copying them from one disk to the other. To save space, compress an item before copying it to a backup disk by selecting it, then choosing File > Compress.

  • Moving a Folder from the iTunes Folder to My Own File Structure

    I'm trying to move a folder from the default iTunes folder to a folder on another drive where I am managing the file structure. This allows me to file music as I would like to on the disk an makes things much easier to find when I need to.
    Recently I've noticed that when I do this I lose some of the song meta data such as the image and rating which is kind of annoying. Is there any way to do this and not lose meta data?

  • Moving a folder from external to internal hard disk

    I want to move a music folder on my external hard drive to the internal one. I had previously disabled the option of copying files to iTunes library so this folder is not a part of iTunes Music folder Music/iTunes/iTunes Music but is is added to the library. If this would have been a folder on internal one then seems like itunes synchronizes it if I move the folder at some other location but here in this case if I move the files then there is no synchronization and itunes asks me to locate it. I don't seem to find any solution online. Please help

    What I'd do is make a parent folder on the external for all of your images inside of LR. Then copy all the images, including the parent to the new location. Copy the catalog to its new location too. Then open the copied catalog, at which time all your folders will be red. Then locate just the parent folder within LR and all the rest will be found. Then delete the parent and promote the rest.

  • Moving Lightroom images from  hardrive to external drives

    How do I successfully move all of my existing Lightroom images from my hardrive to my external drives? I am so nervous to do this but have no more storage on my hardrive. thanks!

    It also helps to reorganize things under a few top-level folders if they aren’t already, before moving them, so there are less reconnections to make after the move.
    There have been some problems in the past for some people who use NAS or network drives for photos where a move loses files, so if that is what your external location is, then I’d suggest that you COPY the files and then rename the source folder(s) and then reconnect the photos in their new location and make sure everything is ok before deleting the photos off the original location on the internal drive.

  • Moving itunes folder and music to external drive

    I moved my itunes folder and all my mp3's onto an external hard drive. As a result, all of the songs that appear in itunes has a ! and says they cannot find where the songs are. It seems that I have to re-import everything all over again including re-ripping all my CD's to itunes again. Is there a better way to go about retrieving my library? Is there a way to import what is on my ipod into itunes or is it only a 1 way thing? Please help.

    Go to edit-->preferences Click the advanced tab
    Change the location of the iTunes music library to the current location. I don't recall if it will then update the links. If they still show up with the ! after the change, post back for instructions on how to tell iTunes they are there all at once.
