In some cases, you may wish to store the PDQ Deploy or PDQ Inventory database in a location other than the default path.
IMPORTANT: We do NOT recommend putting the database file on a network share.
The Location of the Database Can Be Changed by Adding an Entry Into the Registry Using the Steps Below.
Note: Modifying the database location will only change the location of the Database.db file. Other database related files (log.db, Database.db-wal, Database.db-shm) will still be created in the default location.
PDQ Deploy
- Close PDQ Deploy and stop the PDQ Deploy background service.
- Open regedit and create the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Deploy\Settings\Database - Open the key and add a String value called FileName and set it to the full path of the desired database location. Example: Z:\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Deploy\Database.db
- Open PDQ Deploy.
PDQ Inventory
- Close PDQ Inventory and stop the PDQ Inventory background service.
- Open regedit and create the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Inventory\Settings\Database - Open the key and add a String value called FileName and set it to the full path of the desired database location. Example: Z:\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Inventory\Database.db
- Open PDQ Inventory.
