Configure BES Relay to Use Different Drive - Version >= 6.0
| 0 Votes |
Description
Note: Several DOS windows will appear while the BES Relay is configured. These DOS windows may remain in place for a short period of time while all the files in the relay cache are moved to their new location.
Note: Only the "wwwroot" BES Relay data folder will be moved, the BES Relay executable and other program files will remain at its current location.
Important Note: The first action will fail if the drive entered does not exist. The second action will fail if the new location of the BES Relay wwwroot folder is a subfolder of the current location. Both actions will fail if the new location of the BES Relay wwwroot folder already exists. Pathnames should not contain trailing backslashes or spaces.
