In my environment I have installed umds on server 2012 and I installed IIS role on server and created a folder named UMDS in root directory of IIS. Now when I am trying to export the repository info, I am getting below error:
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager> .\vmware-umds -E --export-store C:\inetpub\wwwroot\UMDS

Error with the configured patch store C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Update Manager\Data\. The directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\UMDS is not compatible with this version of the product.

I am using vSphere 6.0 U3 in my environment. Build 5318203
can someone help me with this. I am new to UMDS and this is my first attempt to configure it.
Hello,
Please see the link below that gives you more detail on setting up UMDS
Change the UMDS Patch Repository Location
Issue got fixed same day. Forgot to update what I was doing wrong.
I was creating a virtual directory first in IIS and then was trying to configured it as Patch repo.
I just reversed the steps and first ran the export-store command and then used the same directory as virtual directory in IIS.
