CRL distribution points

Given a standalone CA, I want to specify distribution points for the CRL. No matter what I try, it will only publish the CRL to its default location, %systemroot%\system32\CertSrv\CertEnroll.
I thought about a syntax error, but I have no error messages whatsoever. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick answer, this is what MS says and it doesn't work (the 3com link doesn't work either).
The only thing that seems to do something is using a CAPolicy.inf file, but this implies reinstalling the CA all over again, not much of an usable solution.

"This behaviour is by design".
Actually writting the CRL file anywhere else has to be done by other means.
