Guest Adurr Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I am running a Citrix MetaFrame server on a Windows 2003 X64 Server. The root drive is almost out of space and I would like to move the Documents and Setting folders to the D: Drive which is where all my data is stored. Is this possible? Can someone give me guidance? Thanks.

Can I move them to my D: drive? A: The only supported method to change the location of the Documents and Settings folder is through an unattended setup of the Windows OS. This is documented in the following KB article: 236621 - Cannot Move or Rename the Documents and Settings Folder http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=236621 which also describes an unsupported procedure. If you choose to use that method, make sure that you have a full backup of the registry and the server, and that you know how to use the recovery console. Personally, I would recommend to use roaming profiles. If you configure the server to delete the locally cached copy of the roaming profile when the users log off (see KB 274152), then you will never store more profiles on your Terminal Server than the number of concurrent users. Minimize the size of the profile by using Folder redirection. Minimally, you should redirect My Documents to the users Home directory and get rid of Temporary Internet Files.
