This is done manually by IT as part of the VM creation, so RelEng should not need to do this. Please leave these instructions here, for IT to use when creating VM. Also, useful for RelEng in case they need to verify before pushing VM into production.
* create an 80gb NTFS disk, attach to VM
* use VNC to login as Administrator on VM
** assign to drive letter E
** Volume name should be "BUILDS"
** manually right click on disk E, select properties and go to the general tab f the dialog. At the bottom of the dialog box, verify that "Compress Drive" and "Indexing service" are both unchecked (turned off).
* start dos-cmd-shell and run the following commands. It does not matter what directory is currect directory, these changes are system wide.
c:\> fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 1
c:\> fsutil behavior query disable8dot3
disable8dot3 = 1
c:\> fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1
c:\> fsutil behavior query disablelastaccess
