Using %XMEDIA%

The %XMEDIA% variable can be used to detect the repository location path on external media connected to
the system, such as a CD, DVD, USB storage device, hard disk drive, or diskette. To create a local system
repository folder using %XMEDIA%, do the following:

1. Create a new folder on a local hard disk drive to use as the repository, for example:

%XMEDIA%\SystemUpdate3_x\

Creating a network share repository

To create a network share repository folder that will be used to store update packages on a network share,
do the following:

1. Create a new folder on a network share to use as the repository.

2. Share the new repository folder using the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path. The UNC path

provides connectivity to all computers that have been mapped to the repository. The format for
a UNC path is:

\\Server\Share\

for example:

\Server_X\TVSU_repository\

3. Set the access permissions of the new repository folder to read-only access for end users. Administrator

functions will require read and write access.

4. On client computers, navigate to the following registry entry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\System Update\Preferences\
UserSettings\General\RepositoryLocation1
