The DSA cache files in Quest Migration Manager for Active Directory (QMM for AD) are consuming large amounts of disk space. Can the default location of the files be changed to another location or hard drive.
When using QMM for AD the following directory location is becoming full of large cache files:
This is the default location of the DSA cache files.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Software\Migration Manager\DSA\CONFIGS\Cache
Note: This allows you to change the location of where cache files will be written but you will NOT be able to reuse the existing cache files. A full resync is required
To repoint the DSA to a new writing location for cache file(s), perform the following:
1. Stop all of the DSA services on the machine where the DSA has been installed.
2. Create the folder structure where you plan to move the cache files.
3. Run regedit and go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AeDSACtrl_QMMCONSOLE\Config\Cache
4. Edit the values DataBase and CacheFolder to point to the new folder created above.
5. Exit regedit and restart the DSA services.
This action will initiate a full resync. You do not need to copy over the old cache files to the new location.
After it has been confirmed that the new location is being used with the creation of the cache files in the folder, then the cache files in the old location can be deleted.
