Hi all, I found that SCCM will create many system share, is it possible to change the system share location? Such as C:\SMSPKGD$, can I change it to D:\SCCM\SMSPKGD$? Thanks! Regards, Roger

Hi FYIYou can try below option. Package Share changes drive The default package share 'SMSPKGD$' on two of our servers has switched to the C: drive automatically creating a 'SMSPKGC$' share. This happened with over 2.5 GBs still free on a 9 GB D: drive. Can anyone tell me the cutoff for free space that a Site Server will use to change drives? Or, how can I tell a Site Server (our Site Servers and DPs are one and the same), to use a specific drive no matter the available space? Contributed By: Cliff Hobbs [MVP SMS]Create a specific DP by first creating a share on the desired drive (as detailed below); then use SMS to create a new DP and point to the new share. It seems as though the Distribution Point drive letter will change when there is less than 100 MB of free space. To setup a Distribution Point: Within the MMC, navigate to the Site that will be hosting the DP. From the 'Site Settings' folder, double-click on the 'Site System' folder. Scroll though the list to make sure the '\\server_name\drive_letter$' share hasn't already been created. If this share is already present (which it may be is the server has been setup to perform another SMS roles such as a CAP), check to see if the 'Roles' column lists 'SMS Distribution Point'. If it does then this server has already been setup as a DP.If 'SMS Distribution Point' isn't listed under the 'Roles' column, right-click on the '\\server_name\drive_letter$' share and select 'Properties' then proceed to step 8. to create a DP on the server. If the '\\server_name\drive_letter$' share hasn't already been created, right-click on the 'Site System' folder and select 'New | Windows NT Share' Click the 'Set...' button from the 'Site System Properties' dialog box. Enter '\\server_name\drive_letter$' in the 'New Windows NT Share Site System' dialog box and click 'OK' to return to the 'Site System Properties' dialog box. Click the 'Distribution Point' tab from the 'Site System Properties' dialog box. Click the 'Use this site system as a distribution point' check box from this tab then click 'OK'. The 'SMSPKG' folder won't appear on the drive letter you used on the server until a package is sent to it. http://www.faqshop.com/sms/default.htm?http://faqshop.com/sms/swdist.htmRegardsKarthick V

What Karthick is saying is to use a server share DP. I never do that. Just make sure to have a no_sms_on_drive.sms file on the drive you don't want used. By default the drive with the most free space is used.John Marcum | http://www.TrueSec.com/en/Training.htm | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum

However, I'm wondering if I can change the share folder not only the drive. For example, I have the most free space on drive D. I don't want the folder D:\SMSPKGD$, I wants D:\SCCM\SMSPKGD$. Is it possible?.? Thanks a lot!!! Regards, Roger

No, that's not possible.

No, that's not possible. Ok, thanks! Just wanna confirm if there is a method. Thanks!
