And all package server is working fine,Now systems is formatted and replaced with Windows server 2008 after backup of "Package Delivery" folder from C drive. After formatting we have installed Symantec management agent and package service is configured automatically, we have resored  "Package Delivery" folder as it is.

please suggest,

I think the Package Server Agent will use any drive it can if space on the drive wuith the agent installed starts to run out. Windows Server 2008 alone can use a lot of GB on the C: drive. It's usually best to install the Altiris Agent to the D: drive and use that to store packages.

Hello Andykn,

We have already 100 GB partition allocated for drive C: and more then 60 GB is free.

What drive is your Symantec Management Agent installed on?

If I understand correctly, the agent used to be installed on C:, and now it's on D:?  There are probably remnants of the agent left in the registry from the old install.  If you are moving the locaiton, you must do an agent \clean.  Then re-install.

@HighTower:

We have Installed Symantec Management agent in C: Drive.

@cparkITSPartners:

We have a clean installation of altiris agent in drive C:

The Package Server will stage packages on the same drive the agent is installed on. 

Uninstall the agent from C:, then use this command to install on D:

AeXNSC.exe  -s -a ns="SERVERNAME.blah.com" PATH="D:\Program Files\Altiris\" /NOADDREMOVE /s

I have 21 servers configured this way.

Hi.

HighTower: I dont want to install Altiris agent in drive D:

 because my d drive has no enough space.

Oops, sorry, I misunderstood.  Most people don't want huge C: drives :)

Search your registry for "D:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\" references.
