This causes the component store to grow over time as more updates, features, or roles are added to the installation. The component store uses NTFS hard links between itself and other Windows directories to increase the robustness of the Windows platform. Note: BIS-F 6.1.2 or higer required – ADMX must be replaced to use this feature !! |
