Description

Repository

Defines the location of the repository directory. The default directory is %Public%\Documents\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Deploy\Repository. You can change the location of the repository by typing in a local path, a UNC path, or by clicking the file picker button to select a new location. Click the Open Directory Location button to view the location of the file. Both Custom and System Variables can be inserted by clicking on the Variables button.

The structure of the repository directory isn't enforced in any way, you can organize it however you wish. When you make a change to the directory, the new directory is tested to ensure that the Background Service can see the directory. Any errors display below.

NOTE: All packages imported from the Package Library are placed in the $(Repository).

IMPORTANT: If you change the Repository location, you must move all existing folders and files to the new location.

For a demonstration of changing the Repository location, see the following video.
