The fix needs to be done by Microsoft, and rolled out using Windows Update! In the real world outside Microsoft, we also have lots of teams and groups. We don't fob off our customers with "we don't look after this" style excuses.
Any updates on this? I am having the same issues that Goblin C is experiencing and can't seem to find anything that helps. This is exactly how I would expect this to all work. The reality is quite different what seems to be happening is the update downloads to the C Drive, unpacks to the E drive shared and then the whole process falls to bits when the server fails over when the system attempts to fail over to another node.
This means that we have to remediate these manually. Please can you or somebody in Microsoft take some ownership of this and help us techies out. I had an issue today that may be related to this. I installed the windows update to my win 10 machine, and it put the temporary files on a RAID partition. On reboot to finish off the update the machine got stuck in a reboot loop and the only fix was pulling the RAID card after which the update was rolled back.
The problem I experienced could be unrelated, but it would be sensible to be able to control where windows sticks its files. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Windows Server TechCenter.

Windows Update and for all I know other MS Update services appears to download to a temporary folder in the root of the drive with the most free space at the time of the download.
Is there any way of steering the Update service to restrict itself to local drives or even better to specify an exact path for the temporary download folder. I have been searching the internet for an answer to this but so far drawn a blank.
I'm hoping this might be the forum with an answer. Thanks - Bill. Wednesday, March 17, PM. Windows Update and for all I know other MS Update services appears todownload to a temporary folder in the root of the drive with the most free space at the time of the download. This is not an accurate statement. If you're downloading from the Microsoft Download Center, IE may be writing the temporary file into the cache before copying to the final destination.
Windows Installer does create a temporary folder on the logical volume with the most free space, during the actual installation process, but that folder is be deleted after use. Correct, for use of Windows Installer this may not be desirable behavior. However, your issue here is with the Windows Installer application, and using the appropriate options where available to control the location of the installation directory on such systems when performing such installations is the solution.
As Robear notes, it's really beyond the scope of this forum. But then, as noted, this is not the Update Service causing this scenario, but rather the Windows Installer. Browse All Windows Articles.
