Here’s one option, have not tried it on a server. How to address disk space issues that are caused by a large Windows component store (WinSxS) directory. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2795190/en-us
- Jim M From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sean Martin Sent: Monday, September 15, 2014 2:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] WinSXS and Disk Cleanup Good morning/Afternoon, How do you all handle the growth of the WinSXS directory on servers within your environment? I personally don't like the idea of having to install the Desktop Experience feature and all of other components that come with that. However, I also don't like the idea of having to manage the growth of the folder indefinitely. Not too keen on the unsupported method of leveraging the Disk Cleanup bits also. Just curious to see if there's another option I haven't come across? - Sean **Warning** Any technical data is or may be controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and may not be exported, released, or disclosed to foreign nationals without proper authorization by the U.S. Department of State.” “CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This electronic transmission, its contents and any attachments (hereinafter referred to collectively as “transmission”) are confidential and are solely directed to, and intended for, the named addressee(s) only.
