Move Roaming profiles

[Guest Richardw]

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.

Presuming W2003, select them all, right click, properties.

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

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. (email is on site)

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'%
