Thanks Sam!. Renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder worked. But in my
case I had to stop Automatic Update Service (WuAuServ) first before I can
rename the folder.

Dan,

Did you stop the Automatic Update Service (WuAuServ) on the PC/Server first?
If you don't stop the service you will not be able to rename the folder.
