Guest Mike \(NLX\) Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I have a Terminal Server running in a domain. All the User Profiles are roaming profiles which were set via an Active Directory Group Policy. In fact the same group policy deletes the locally cached profile on logout. The problem is the boot drive is running out of disk space during the workday when usres are logged in becasue the locally cached profiles are saved to this boot drive. I have another drive partition that has plenty of space and I need to know how to have the Terminal Server save the local profiles to this new drive, as opposed to the default c:\Documents and Settings.... please help -mike

Guest Mike \(NLX\) Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: moving local profile?? Not supported??? That's not what I was hoping for. I read the article you posted and that is quite a job for an exisitng server that is being used by several users. Can I just change a system variable? This way when the user logs in with their romaing profile, the TS will locally cache it to the new path as defined by the system variable? This way as the users log in their profiles would get move.

Guest Helge Klein Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: moving local profile?? Well, Microsoft does not _recommend_ moving the folder "Documents and Settings" on an already installed machine. But they do tell everybody how to do it in the article posted by Jeff. I suggest you do one of the following: 1. Reinstall the TS using an unattended setup as described in KB236621. 2. If solution 1. is not possible: Replace or resize drive C:. 3. If solution 2. is not possible: Use method "Entire Folder" from KB236621, but I recommend you back up the registry first and make sure you can restore it. Solution 3 is certainly a solution to your problem. If should work well if you are careful. I hope this helps. Helge On 30 Jul., 20:20, "Mike \(NLX\)" <nlx....@gmail.com> wrote: > Not supported???

(subject: "Environment variables in Server 2003" ....date 07/28/2007) In there, I had indeed suggested that you post in this (TS) group as it is more relevant, but I also mentioned a lot of other things regarding roaming profiles (v. TS profile paths) and folder redirection / group policy, which you should definitely look at.
