Move User's "My Docs" to network?

External Since: Oct 24, 2007 Posts: 1

Hello All!

First, sorry if this is in the wrong forum and second, sorry but I am new
and inexperienced at this.

I administer my brother's company of about 15 people and everything is fine
and running smooth on my limited knowledge. However, recently the need to
re-direct users "my Documents" folders from their local "c" drive to their
"personal" folder (P drive) on the network store has emerged.

I know this can be done, but I have no idea how do it. I think it has
something with the roaming profiles and stuff. Can any take the time to help
me or direct me to a website that would have the instructions.

Thank y ou VERY much...

This can probobly be done via GPO however if you want, you can simply
right click "my documents" on the users computer, select properties,
and ("Target") type in the path where you want to store the documents.
The 1st time it will ask if you want to move all the documents to the
new location. select yes.
Here we have a shared "users" folder on one of the servers with a
folder for each individual user.
