Moving IIS Web Server folders to different drive.

I received new web servers that had very less disk space on c drive.If you install IIS web server,by default the web server folders i.e. inetpub will be located on the systemdrive,usually c drive. We had application logs that would require large space.In order to ensure IIS worked with folders on non system drive we had to do the following steps after installation

  • Disable the Default Web Site in inetmgr
  • Move the inetpub folder to D drive.You will require Admin Permissions on the server.
  • Click on Default Web Site Basic Settings in inetmgr
  • Point the physical path to the new folder on the non system drive.In this case it is D drive.
  • Restart the Default Web Site in inetmgr
