How to move user profiles from system drive to free up space

[Guest Lajos]

On one of our production server (HP ProLiant 380D - 2 HD Raid1, C and D

partitions) we are running out of space on the system drive. I was advised

to move the user profiles from the 'Documents and Settings' folder on the

system drive to the D drive.

I have already read the q236621 KB article, but before I try the procedure I

would like to see if anyone would have any experience with this procedure,

or perhaps could recommend something else. Thanks in advance!

Re: How to move user profiles from system drive to free up space

 

Have you tried redirecting folders like My documents or desktop to

alleviate some of these issues? How big are your profiles? Have you

tried cleaning out old profiles? There are many things you can do to

alleviate size issus. As well, I would never split a terminal services

RAID into 2 drives. one big drive is just fine typically.
