How do I move windows updates from one drive to another in Windows Server 2003

Is there a way I can move the windows updates from c:\windows to say d:\updates? Basically C: is running low on space and I need to get it back! Thanks in advance.

Do I have to move any other files? Like those KBxxxxxx.log files in %systemroot%?

The log files simply show what happened during the installation procedure. Any KBxxxxxx.log file can be safely deleted; it won't be needed in order to roll back an update.

So I just have to move those KB folders to a new location while server is running, no problem?

Yes - no problem whatsoever.
