We have a terminal Services envrionment where admins log into the BES console.
We are finding that our C: Drive is getting filled and would like to alter the console cache settings (in the registry) for all users to point to a different local drive.
Can this be done?
Thanks,
Lou
Yes, in TEM 7.0 and above you can change the location of the TEM Console local cache data with the following registry key in the HKey_Current_User branch.
[HKCU\Software\BigFix\Enterprise Console\Preferences]
Name: Data Directory (REG_SZ)
Value: A directory to store the cache files.
Example: D:\AppData\BES Console Cache
This REG_SZ will not exist if you have not overridden the default location.
If set correctly, you should see folders and files created in the specified directory the next time you launch the TEM Console. NOTE: The purpose of the console cache is to load quickly locally the files instead of having to pull them over the network every time. So putting the cache on a network drive will remove the speed benefit of having a local cache.
Yes… I did that, but I want to move it for all users that are logging into my terminal server. Is there a way to change its default location permanently for everyone that logs into the terminal server?
One potential approach here is to leverage login scripts or similar configuration methods to modify the associated registry keys on Terminal servers as users log.
