Repository location
My server is running low on drive space. Can I move the updates repository to another server? I've looked all over SCCM for the location to edit, but I cannot find it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Do you mean your packages under +Software Updates, +Deployment Packages?
Those are treated slightly differently from 'normal' packages in the console. Here's one way to approach this...
Create a new package on the new location, then go to your update list(s), and re-download the updates to the new location.
On the old package that you want to remove, delete the updates from inside it, and then delete the package. Go check that everything is gone from your old location, and you have the space back.
Paranoia step: after you think you have everything downloaded, go look in your Update List(s) and sort by "Downloaded". Confirm you didn't miss any in step 1.Standardize. Simplify. Automate.

Check your IIS logs, they most likely take up some of the disk space.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

Even though its not exposed in the UI, it is possible to modify the source path of a package directly in WMI:

Keep in mind when you change source path all those packages will replicate out to all those packages will instantly replicate out to all DP's/Secondary sites.
