Guest Richardw Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 All, What is the easiest way to change the roaming profile path for a large number of users in one go? We need to perform a upgrade on the server that currently hosts the roaming profile and need to change the path on approx 300 users.

Guest Richardw Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Re: Move Roaming profiles Hi, yes it is w2003. however all our users have been broken down into OU's relating to their location and as have 40 locations I was kinda hoping that there would be a easier way. We have tried AD modify, but this did not function correctly. it just set all profiles as \\servername\sharename\USERNAME even though we had used the %username% variable "Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]" wrote: > Richardw <Richardw@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > All, > > > > What is the easiest way to change the roaming profile path for a large > > number of users in one go?

Guest Don Wilwol Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Re: Move Roaming profiles I have posted a vbscript that will do it by OU. Feel free to email me if you need help with it, but its pretty simple to modify.

Guest Richardw Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Re: Move Roaming profiles I think I have found the problem I was having with admodify. It does not work with the variable %username% as this is not a AD attribute, instead you have to use the variable %'sAMAccountName'% "Richardw" wrote: > > Hi, yes it is w2003. however all our users have been broken down into OU's > relating to their location and as have 40 locations I was kinda hoping that > there would be a easier way.
