• Not enough space to install ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) on the default system drive
   
• You want to install ERA in a different location for security or maintenance purposes

Solution

1. Install ESET Remote Administrator.
    
2. Stop the ERA Server service.
    
3. Close any open ERAC windows or utilities (for example, ESET Configuration Editor).
    
4. On the drive where you want to store program files and data for ERAS and ERAC, create an ESET Remote Administrator folder with two sub-folders called Program Files and Program Data (for example, D:\ESET Remote Administrator\Program Files).
    
5. Copy all ERAS and ERAC files from the folder where they currently reside into the corresponding folder on your destination drive. For example, copy files from C:\Program Files (x86)\ESET\ESET Remote Administrator\Server\Console to D:\ESET Remote Administrator\Program Files\Console.
    
6. Create junctions (symbolic links) between the default system drive where you first installed ERA and the newly created folders on your destination drive. For instructions on how to create junctions, see the following Microsoft Knowledge base articles: 
   
   
   • Microsoft TechNet—Hard links and Junctions
   • Microsoft TechNet—The mklink Command
      
7. Start the ERA Server service.
