| Hey folks. Quick question. During my install I meant to create a non-default instance folder structure. Instead of using D:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLI want to have D:\MSSQL.1\MSSQLCan I just update this or does something have to be updated within SQL. I currently have no databases.Thanks for your helpSteve |

| You can move the default directories for the database files but not the database instance folders...then you would have to reinstall as Tara says. If you want to move the default directories for the databases you connect to the instance in SSMS, right-click the server level and choose properties, then choose Database Settings.- LumbagoMy blog-> http://thefirstsql.com/2011/07/08/how-to-find-gaps-in-identity-columns-at-the-speed-of-light/ |
