Move IIS inetpub folder
Server OS: Windows Server 2019 Standard
I have IIS installed on my server and I took all of the defaults. The server is not really configured, other than 2 ColdFusion IIS virtual directories.
I basically want to move the inetpub folder from:
C:\inetpub -to-
E:\inetpub
Can someone help with a step by step guide to accomplish this?
Thank you.

This talks about what you are asking about just an older version of IIS:

t still points to the C:\Inetpub for some things.Such as?
Please clarify what it is you are after? Use the properties of iis you can also use meta edit adsl edit
Usually, the root is for multiple things, when creating virtual directories or additional site you can alter the home/root directory for the data of a site or virtual directory.
Note the log settings are similarly adjusted.

Thank you both. Both of these were very helpful.
You are welcome.

Thank you for the suggestion, but that's not really what I'm looking for.
This will move the sites and new sites, but I want to have it all pointed to the E:\ drive. I have followed the instructions, but I can tell it's still using the old location, because I cannot rename C:\inetpub because it's being used. That is after an IISReset, IIS Start/Stop, and a server reboot. I also moved the Logging files as well to the E:\ drive.
