Download Folder

(imported topic written by Asole8291)

Hello!

After installation is there any way to change the download folder?

…\wwwrootbes\bfmirror<content>

I want to change it to a new drive for backup purposes if there is any option to do it.

Thanks

I believe you can set it using this registry key:

key: “HKLM\Software\BigFix\Enterprise Server\GlobalOptions”

value: “wwwRootFolder”

REG_SZ

Changing ‘BES Server’ root path:

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2

BFE: Tivoli Endpoint Manager 8.1.617

  1. Stop all BES services

  2. Update Application Paths:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\BESAdmin.exe\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\BigFix Server\BFGather\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports\Paths\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports\Preferences\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\ClientRegister\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\FillDB\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\GatherDB\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client_GatherService_HTTPServer_LogFilePath\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client_WebReports_HTTPServer_HttpLogDirectoryPath\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\EnterpriseClient\Settings\Client_WebReports_HTTPServer_LogFilePath\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\BESAdmin.exe\

  1. Update User Paths:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BigFix\BFEAdmin\

HKEY_USERS{’%user_id%’}\Software\BigFix\BFEAdmin\

  1. Update Control Sets:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BESGather\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BESPluginService\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BESRootServer\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\FillDB\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\GatherDB\

*(after restart if everything it’s working fine will overwrite ControlSet002 with this values)

  1. Update Firewall Policies:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules\

  1. Update Uninstall Paths:
