WSUS Repair: Can I not use a drive other than C:?

I used the wizard to move the WSUS folders from the C: drive to the SBS2008's D: drive in order to recover C: drive disk space as so many others have had to do. Now ofcourse, the system says it no longer is installed as designed and updates to domain
computers no longer works.
There is a good TechNet article on how to "Repair Windows Server Update Services" but it assumes the WSUS directory must be created on C: which ofcourse is not what I want.
I appreciate there are SQL issues involved here, but if I simply specify D: as the partition to create the WSUS directory, substitute D:\WSUS in the wsussetup.exe parameters (from the section in that article headed 'To manually recover Windows Server
Update Services), will this work?
Thanks in advance
Jerome

Hi Jerome,
à
if I simply specify D: as the partition to create the WSUS directory, substitute D:\WSUS in the wsussetup.exe parameters (from the section in that article headed 'To manually
recover Windows Server Update Services), will this work?
I suggest that you should follow the step “create a directory called WSUS on the C: partition” to
repair WSUS as described in this TechNet article (Repair Windows Server Update Services). It will help us to avoid unexpected issues.

I used the wizard to move the WSUS folders from the C: drive to the SBS2008's D: drive in order to recover C: drive disk space as so many others have had to do.
After repairing WSUS, please refer to following article and check if help you to

How can I install to a drive other than C?

I installed the CS6 Master Collection trial version. During the installation, I specified a destination folder on my D: drive (C: is a small SSD drive meant to hold only Windows).
For the 32-bit versions of the programs, the shortcuts created in the Start Menu point to the D: location I specified during installation, but clicking on them gets me a "file not found" error, because the actual programs were placed on the C: drive. They work if I copy the installed Adobe folder and its full contents over to the appropriate D: location.
The 64-bit versions are a different mess: Unlike with the 32-bit versions, the installer placed the 64-bit versions of the programs in the specified D: drive folder, but when I attempt to start the programs, I get the "Configuration Error: Please uninstall and reinstall the program; Error: 1" message. Presumably this is because some of the configuration files or settings the programs are looking for are actually pointing to locations on the C: drive, where the installer put them despite my directions. But I have no idea which files or settings they are, or how to find them.
How can I fix these configuration errors and get the 64-bit versions working?
If anyone from Adobe sees this, can you please fix the installer so that it installs the ENTIRE package where I specified, and that all the various pieces installed know where the rest of the pieces are in a non-C drive installation?
My system:
Windows 7 SP1
Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM
C drive: 60GB SSD (Windows system files)
D drive: 1TB HDD (All other programs and files, including my Windows User folders)

Yes, I have redirected my User folder to the D: drive.
I know that some shared components must reside on the C: drive; that's fine. I just don't have room for the entire installation on there.
The real issue here is that, when a drive other than C: is selected as the destination, the CS6 package installs into a broken state every time, out of the gate, on my system. Some components get installed to D: and some to C:, but the various components of the programs seem confused about what exists where, as shown below:
I select a folder on D: as the destination folder for the install, and here is what I get:
64-bit versions of the package -- Program files are installed to the D: drive as specified, but attempting to start them results in a configuration error message stating that the program must be uninstalled and reinstalled, and lists "Error code: 1".
32-bit versions of the package -- Program files are installed to the C: drive against what I specified. The shortcuts installed in the Start menu for the 32-bit versions point to the locations where these program files SHOULD be, on the D: drive. If the Adobe folder containing the program files is copied over to the correct location on D:, these programs function normally with no errors.
I have the 32-bit versions working by copying the program files from C: to D:. I just want to get the 64-bit versions working as well.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated; I'm really looking forward to testing the CS6 suite on my system!

I need to use a drive other than C: to store my bookmarks how do I do this?

I use software called Deep Freeze that restores my C: drive to it's original state every time I reboot. I need to have my bookmarks stored on a drive other than C: else when I reboot any changes I've made will be lost. Is there a way to do this?

You can only do that if you create a new profile and locate that new profile on that other drive.

hello Harm,
thanks for the answers
gonna spend the day moving files around
clean is good
as far as the memory, i'll figure that one out next
is overclocking memory that easy ?
actually if i could ask another question:
with a stock i7 930 at 2.8Ghz
and 16gb DDR3 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 memory
what are stable results to expect for an oc'ed cpu
and memory running at 1600?
would oc'ing the cpu be worth the extra 'wear and tear'?
i'm editing avchd .mts files
(most threads state that avchd is cpu intensive)
so far i'm very happy with cs5
again, i more trust answers from within this forum
than googling stuff and checking reviews, what not
thanks again and good morning,
j

Why can't you use PipedXputStream in other than threaded application

I have need for usage of these in a non-threaded application, however the Javadoc indicate this should not be done.
"Attempting to use both objects from a single thread is not recommended, as it may deadlock the thread."
As the Java community is composed of some brilliant people, I am curious as to why any limitation of this sort has not been fixed/addressed?
What is the root cause of these deadlock situations?
Thanks in advance.

And that avoids the situation were you could be trying to write more than the stream buffer can hold or trying to read more than you wrote to the stream.
data = getData();
outPipe.write(data);
data = inPipe.read();
doSomethingWith(data);
// is just a roundabout way of coding
doSomethingWith(getData());

Having problems with Verizon iPhone 5 using excessive data. Verizon will not help can anyone give me advice? Have family plan never went over 8gb of data in 6 years, now avg 14 a month and are not using anything different other than having iPhone 5.

Switched to iPhone 5 on July 31st. Since then our data usage has doubled. Verizon will not help find out what the problem could be, they claim they are unaware of a problem. I told them to look on the customer support page and many have complained about the problem. Now on the apple site I see it may be an apple problem. Some one needs to fix this. Apple you want us to use your products, please do t make it cost us more money just to do what we did prior without problems. Prior phones were iPhone 4 and we never had issues and never went over 8 gb's for 4 phones. Now we are doing 14. Can anyone tell me what is going on. Getting ready to stop using cell phones all together.

Well you could Restore it from your backup and see if that helps. If it doesn't Restore it as new and manually add things back until the problem starts again.
I would also suggest trying a different SIM.
Without iOS 7 there is no way to isolate what is using the data.

How can I download to a drive other than C?

I want to download and install all programs and features to drive E.
Here's what I did:
Downloaded the Adobe Application Manager onto drive E and let it install.
The Adobe Application Manager installed onto drive C
          (I didn't notice any options to change it's install location)
When it opened I clicked on "install" next to Photoshop CS6
it gave me the error:
               Installation Failed
               Insufficient disk space. Please clear space on C:\ and try again. (-30)
I went into preferences and changed the install location to a Program Files folder located on disk E
Clicked "install" next to Photoshop again
Same error message
I figure that it might be trying to download it to drive C before installing it to drive E, if that's the case then how can I change that so that it both downloads AND installs on drive E?

Some installers let you choose the install location (e.g. Adobe Reader), but others don't (I don't know about Photoshop, but I found this http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/install-uninstall-photoshop-cs2.html - see 5.).

TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems. I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally. So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens. If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
Any idea how I can clear that message?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Further info on my question above.
I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some.
I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

Apple has really crappy NTFS read-only that does not always work. And it is probably a licensing issue.
Paragon Software is constantly being updated and supported with their NTFS for Mac OS X - they also have an HFS+ driver for Windows that works - Apple's HFS+ read-only driver for Boot Camp / Windows does not.
I keep seeing problems and lack of support for MacFUSE, that could change.

I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD. It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive. I do not use this drive for backups. Help.

I cannot load Maverick on my iMac HD. It reports that my HD is used for Time Machine backups and will not load to that drive. I do not use this drive for backups. I use an external 1 TB WD My Book for backups as well as Super Duper Backups. Can anyone offer advice. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have got the "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of your hard drive. This is the folder used by Time Machine to save backups to, and the OS X Mavericks installer thought that your hard drive is being used to store Time Machine backups
To fix this, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
Then, delete "Backups.backupdb" and empty the Trash. Finally, open the Mavericks installer from the Applications folder and follow the steps

Mpower// if i use 2 ssds in port 1&2 in riad 0 can i not use hdd in sata ports 3

mpower// if i use 2 ssds in port 1&2 in riad 0 can i not use hdd in sata ports 3 4 5 6 as my hdd wont work
does not show up in bios or windows// help help

Isn't this your 2nd post on this? Did you intel rapid storage (raid controller)? Are you able to see the drives in there? Did you set them up as simple drives or w/er you want?
Did you check in disk manager and assign a drive letter?
The directions for how to do this are in your manual towards the end.
The As Media controller ports 7&8 are SATA III, that is what I use for my storage HDD.

Why can I not use the channel name, which is obtained from the function of DAQmx Task, as the input of the channel name for the function of Get Channel Information of DAQ?

Not a lot of details here, but my guess is this isn't working for you because you are wiring in the task to the Active Channels Property and not the actual Channel Name. I have attatched a screenshot of what I believe you are trying to do. The Task has 2 channels in it, so I need to index off one of the channels and wire it into the active channels input of the Channel Property node. Then I can read information about that channel

If it's not in the App Store, it's not available to you and there is nothing you can do about it.

I have just upgraded my account why can i not use it, it keeps redirecting me

Hi;
You upgraded your FormsCentral account? Can you explain what you mean that you cannot use it, what is happening, when and where are you being redirected? Did you use the same email address for the upgrade as you used to sign into this forum? We see a lot of cases where users sign into FormsCentral with one email address but then use a different during the upgrade process. Check and see if you have another email you might have used for the upgrade.
Thanks,
Josh
