Hi Gurusharan, Yes, I followed the exact steps that Geoffroy outlined above:
1. shutdown your jenkins instance 2. move the folder /path/to/old_jenkins_home to the new location /path/to/new_jenkins_home 3. create an environment variable JENKINS_HOME, which value is /path/to/new_jenkins_home 4. start your jenkins instance I am currently running Jenkins as a windows service. I noticed that if I run the jenkins service from the command line and go into Jenkins, the new home directory is reflected. But when run it as a windows service, the old home directory is still showing. How would I do that so my new home directory is reflected from the windows service ?
