Hi,
I would like to change the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\content" folder to a different drive on the server. For this I tried the following;
1. Stopped all SEP related services.
2. Added a new disk to system without a drive letter.
3. Copied all files&folders in content folder to this new drive.
4. Deleted all files&folders in content folder.
5. Mounted this new drive to content folder.
6. Started all SEP related services.
After staring services tomcat seems to able to access content folder and download new definitions and other contents. But agents couldn't download definitions from SEPM. In the event log of agent's there were some events with message "Content download to the client failed." with event id 201. Also from agent machine I tried to open the http url which is contained in the event logs "http://sepm:8014/content/%7BD6AEBC07-D833-485f-9723-6C908D37F806%7D/160405012/xdelta160405012_To_160418011.dax" and it gives http 403 error code.
After these foundings I reversed the configuration which I made and everything got back working without any problems.
Was that a wrong approach or am I missing something about configuration ? May be tomcat can not work with mounted drives ?
P.S.: The reason I am trying to change this folder to another drive is; SEPM is running on Hyper-V environment and Hyper-V Replica is activated for this server. And as content folder is continuously changing, this increases Hyper-V Replica data transfer sizes. If I can able to change this folder to another drive then I will exclude this disk from Hyper-V Replica and it will be fine.
