680524 - w32-ix-* E drives should have last access time and 8dot3 filenames disabled

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Chris AtLee [:catlee]]

way back in the mists of time, we adjusted filesystem properties for our win32 VMs to disable indexing on the E drive, as well as the equivalent of turning off "noatime". This doesn't seem to be the case on this ix box, and I fear on other ix slaves as well.

we should
a) make sure our ix slaves have E: properly configured
b) make sure our imaging process preserves this

Same on win32-ix-ref and w32-ix-slave10 and 11, based on the Properties of the E drive having indexing enabled, and the output of
  fsutil behavior query disable8dot3
  fsutil behavior query disablelastaccess
on an administrator temirnal session. But the 'Indexing Service' appears to be disabled in the list of services, and both C:\System Volume Information and the same on E:\ appear to be empty. 

So I think we just want the two NTFS tweaks, which can probably be done using OPSI.

Disable 8dot3 and lastaccess

Do we need to specify a drive here, or change to it or something? Or is this global?
