Hello, I've not been able to find a method to use the /for /on switches
effectively from the vssadmin command in Vista Ultimate. I'd like to:

vssadmin create ShadowStorage /On=E: /For=C: /Maxsize=3GB

I'll soon get a second drive and use it for all shadows. Is this at all
possible?

No, this isn't possible, despite the fact that the syntax example indicates
it might be.

Let me clarify--this isn't possible on *Vista*. I believe this will work on
Server, however.
