Problem
Windows Server 2003 C partition is running out of disk space
Soultion
Move service pack and update files
Example
d:\1admin will be the path we are copying files to
Move the following files:
c:\windows\$NtUninstall* to D:\1admin\Windows Update Files c:\windows\ServicePackFiles to D:\1admin\ServicePackFiles C:\WINDOWS\ie8updates to D:\1admin\ie8updates
Change these Registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup = D:\1admin\ServicePackFiles\servicepackcache HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup = D:\1admin\ServicePackFiles HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup = D:\1admin
Also, I tell windows to stop downloading updates unless they are specifically requested!
