Change user folder on windows 2000 server

I plan to add additional storage to my windows 2000 server which holds all the user accounts for my company network.  

I would like to move all of the user folder to the new drive.  How do I ensure that the O/S still knows where all of the user files are?

Be careful here.  Simply moving them will not transfer share and NTFS permissions:

This MS Knowledge Base article will help you move the shares:

XCOPY with the /O and /E switches will copy the files, including ACL
and ownership information.


I should have clarified that information was in addition to cfairly...not a correction to it.
