Sparing SSD of WMC write cycles

#1

To spare the SSD system drive of write cycles I've always had the Recorded TV directory on an external USB disk drive (traditional rotating rust platter).
Today decided I'd like to put the guide/database their too.

Figure to create a symbolic link from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\ to M:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\
(mklink /d "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\" "M:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\")

I've made the folder on M: drive and setting it up with the same permissions but can't figure out how to apply the ehSched and ehRecrv permissions.

The permissions error dialog box:
An object (User, Group, or Built-in security principal) with the following name cannot be found: "ehSched".
Check the selected object types and locations for accuracy and ensure that you have typed the object name correctly, or remove the object from the selection.

How can I apply these permissions?

Thanks

Figured it out... Had the info in notes for adding TrustedInstaller for something else.

The "principle" to use for adding ehSched and ehRecvr permissions on a folder is:
NT SERVICE\ehSched
NT SERVICE\ehRecvr
