How to move Symantec Endpoint Protection content directory to another partition or drive without reinstalling

Steps for moving Symantec Endpoint Protection content directory to a new partition or drive :

  1. Stop the following services via the “Services” control panel.
    • “Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager”
    • “IIS Admin Service” (This will also stop the “World Wide Web Publishing Service”).
  2. Open My Computer
  3. Browse to the folder where the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager application is currently installed
    (Typically Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\)
  4. Open the “Inetpub” subfolder, and rename the “Content” folder. The new name does not matter, but for ease of use, I would recommend using “Content1”
  5. Create an empty folder called “Content” in the “Inetpub” folder.
  6. Create a “Content” folder on another partition
  7. Link the 2 folders using junction.exe. You can find the instructions at this link http://www.itusefultips.com/how-to-use-junction-exe/
  8. Copy all files and folders from:
    Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Content1\ To
    Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Content\
  9. Delete the unnecessary Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\Content1\ folder.
  10. Restart the services:
    • “Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager”
    • “IIS Admin Service”
    • “World Wide Web Publishing Service
