BES Server Download Cache Location

Hi,
I have suggested the symlink usage for Download Cache in the following way and it appears to work fine:

  • stop all bigfix services
  • mount your target volume as I: and not as I:\downloads with Disk Management Tool
  • create I:\downloads folder
  • copy all original and working ‘downloads’ content in I:\downloads
  • rename original ‘downloads’ folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server\wwwrootbes\bfmirror\downloads.old
  • mklink “C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server\wwwrootbes\bfmirror\downloads” I:\downloads /D
  • restart all bigfix services

Hope this can help
