I just built a Windows 2003 server Small Business Edition. I'd like to move the \inetpub folder to the D (Data) drive and get it off the C (System) drive. Are there any drawbacks to simple moving it in Windows Explorer? Is there a tool for moving it? Are there registry settings I'll need to change? Thanks.
 
If you already have sites setup then you will just need to repoint them to the correct folder. You shouldnt need to change anything else.

Just cut and paste should work fine.

Its meant to be more secure having you inetpub folder on another drive from your system drive.
