  • Stop Jenkins service
  • Move C:\Users\Coola\.jenkins folder to d:\Jenkins
  • Using regedit, change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Jenkins\ImagePath to "d:\Jenkins\jenkins.exe"
  • Start service

The answer helped. In addition, I had to wipe out the workspaces of all my jobs which use the tfs plugin to get the source code. This was failing with ‘Unable to determine the workspace‘ error. –  GarethOwen Nov 20 ‘12 at 10:37

I also had to add a new Inbound Rule to Windows Firewall, just duplicating the existing one for c:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jre\bin\java.exe for the java.exe in the new folder –  GarethOwen Nov 20 ‘12 at 13:29

When you read Administering Jenkins you can read all options how to modify the JENKINS_HOME environment variable.

On this website you can read how to configure you Tomcat container to override the JENKINS_HOME environment variable, they advise to create the file $CATALINA_BASE/conf/localhost/jenkins.xml, with the following content:

<Context docBase="../jenkins.war">
    <Environment name="JENKINS_HOME" type="java.lang.String" value="/data/jenkins" override="true"/>
</Context>

And in addition to grams answer, the most important part is creating an environment variable named JENKINS_HOME with value "D:\Jenkins". Without that, on starting Jenkins it would again create the .jenkins folder in your user home folder.

It may not be necessary. AFAIK it seems that the native windows installer does not create (or need) JENKINS_HOME environment variable. Check out issue #JENKINS-13530 But I guess it‘s safer to check JENKINS_HOME anyway. –  grams Oct 3 ‘12 at 14:02

You don‘t need the Windows installer to install Jenkins as a service. You can also simply run the WAR and then select it from the menu. And in that case your right, it isn‘t necessary, since Jenkins creates a jenkins.xml file, which sets the current directory as JENKINS_HOME. –  dunni Oct 3 ‘12 at 15:11
