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

1) You can do it when you build the server, but to do it afterwards is a
registry hack.
2) I think it is really a misguided piece of advice. What is important is to
redirect all the folders out the profiles. Then the profile is sufficiently
small that it does not really matter,

Why do you allow users to log on to your server? They
might have their personal shares on the server but nothing
in c:\documents and settings.
