Windows Deployment Server issues and move to a different drive
We have a Windows Deployment Server that is running on windows 2008 R2 SP1
On the C:\ drive there was a c:\remoteinstall folder
and a c:\deploymentshare folder
The deploymentshare folder was huge, and we ran out of disk space.
So we moved this folder to a new drive...
Now I cant download any images.
Cant remember what this folder was shared as
but when using PXE boot. I get error as follows:
connection to the deployment share \\servername\DeploymentSha
In WDS, nothing shows iin install image

When moving an existing folder somewhere else, you can usually keep the old reference as a JUNCTION (symbolic link).
It creates a link (takes almost no disk space) to some other folder.
Use Technet's Junction tool to create and manage junctions :

Then you can move your folder, create a junction with the former folder path as its name and that points to the newer folder path, and you are done.

Via the MDT or WDS tool how do you import images? I have the new location and files.

There is also a :\remoteinstall directory too. What is this for.
My WDS does not look like the above...MDT..
And I don't have much exp in WDS... So it may need resetup
Is there suppose to be an image group and images in management... I don't see these
I only see boot images, but don't see where they point too, and my options look different then your print screen.,
I tried resharing the folders on the new drive E:\deploymentshare\ etc.
But it still wont connect.
Need help plz
