We are going to migrate our production databases (just one server) from 2008 R2 to 2014, and it will be on a new hardware. On our old server all database files located on a default folder like M:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\File_name.mdfWe have decided that on a new server it should be shorter and simpler, like:M:\Data\File_name.mdfL:\Logs\File_name.ldfetc.But my concern is there are any implications of this change? Are there any internal SQL Server processes or scripts that rely on pseudo-standard [Drive Letter]:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\... location?Our cumulative database size is close to 2 TB, we use log shipping + failover clustering for DR, but eventually will migrate to AlwaysOn. We have lots of linked servers to other servers, we don't use filestreams or anything like that, and we have very small number of SSIS packages.Thanks
