Moving Documents and Settings folder to different Drive
How do you move the Documents and Settings and user profiles for new and existing users to another drive. The default is c:\Documents and Settings. I want the default for new and existing users to be D:\Documents and Settings\{user Name}
Thanks,
Pete

***Command Line Tools***
Back in the days of NT4 we used to use SCOPY for copying permissions and ACL’s with 2000 that functionality was put into XCOPY
/X copies the audit settings (as /a in SCOPY)
/O copies ACL information (same as SCOPY)
/S copies subdirectories (same as SCOPY)
But Robocopy is a much better solution
To copy files and maintain they’re NTFS permissions and more importantly their ACL (Access Control List) information. You can use RoboCopy (Stands for Robust Copy)
This tool in available in the NT/2000/2003/XP resource kits and can also be downloaded here,
