Good evening - I’ve got my policy configured but I have a question about the HIBP. It’s downloaded the 28GB zip and has decompressed it into 65,000+ 400kb+ DB files. My question is, is that correct? Also, is one to throw all of those files into the sysvol to replicate to other DCs? I didn’t really see much in the documentation that mentioned the large amount of DB files so it had me concerned. I believe older versions Anixis just had 1 large txt file.
Thanks!
Hi Bryan. That is correct. It’s a totally different format now. This format is better for delta updates, but it is a huge number of files. It’s better to use DFS directly rather than sysvol now. I was going to point you to the documentation, but I see that it needs to be updated. As I mentioned in another post recently, there is work being done to make the database significantly smaller. I can’t say more than that for now, but we are aware of the issue and are working to improve it.
Perfect, thank you. The platform has changed for sure!
