As Jason said, Distribution Manager enumerates the NTFS formatted partitions on the machine and looks for the one with the most free space for each new package that is assigned to the DP. You can have files on multiple drives that are "distribution point" folders without having to specify them. This is all done behind the scenes but you can see this if you look in the log files.

DPs will automatically use the volume with the most amount of free space on a package by package basis so what would be the point of doing this? As mentioned though, no, it's not possible.

Not exactly the question. I have a vol - with 130 GB of drive space on a server that already has the role of PSP and DP (the dp is on another volumn). So my question is really, Can i have 1 server that with multiple DP's on it (say 1 dp on the g drive, and 1 dp on the f drive). ________________________________ From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Jason Sandys Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 10:20 AM To: mssms@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mssms@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: [mssms] RE: Possibly a dumb question - Anyone ever put two dps' on 1 secondary site server? So, if the question is can you host a DP on a PSP, then the answer is yes, for sure. Also, putting anything other than boot images on the PSP DP will cause problems because by default the PSP DP is secured differently.

We have a 120 GB set of drives available for the PXE. We ran out of room years ago for the images and started putting the images themselves on the PSP DP. That has been known to cause some issues. So i thought that maybe I could create a server share DP - on that same volumn and that would allow me to still have plenty of room for the image related packages without interfearing with the PSP. On top of that, if i have to remove the PSP role and re-install (which seems to be the go to fix for EVERYTHING ) it wont' delete my images. ________________________________ From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Jason Sandys Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2013 4:50 PM To: mssms@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mssms@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: [mssms] RE: Possibly a dumb question - Anyone ever put two dps' on 1 secondary site server?
