Hello All,
After a couple disastrous attempts at bringing in consultants to our little R&D adventure we have been left with a functioning but not DR secure site. I am not in IT by trade, software is my background, but i can muddle around enough to get things done.
That said, we have an office with 10 desktops and 5 laptops (Win Vista Business), all administrators on their own machines working locally with no domain yet.
We have a DC setup (windows server 2003) which holds the active directory and which i have joined myself to with no problem to test it.
We have a server (windows server 2003) which i want to make a file server to store all users files as they log in/out of the domain (sorry if my nomenclature is incorrect ... newb)
Do i use the DC and point the users to their respective home folder on the second Windows Server? Is there a script to do this? My profile took over an hour to login/out because of the size of my documents folder, can i redirect these to the server share home folder for speed and security? Am i going about this incorrectly? If so what are the best practises or any white papers etc on the subject.
Cheers and thanks. More questions to come! In other posts of course

Yes, is the short answer.. you would use a group policy on the domain controller to configure folder redirection for users to a network share that resides on the other server.
