to move the roaming profiles - physically move the data from on server to another and make sure it is shared on the new server<br />
<br />
ie., &nbsp;\\server1\profiles\* &nbsp; -&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;\\server2\profiles\*<br />
<br />
once you have moved all the folders over to the new share - check the permissions on each folder - a user should have total access to their profile, and domain admins should as well<br />
<br />
once that is done (it is best to do this with no-one on the network) then in active directory, change the users pfile path to reflect the new location<br />

the above guid is FAR more relevant<br />

Transfering roaming profiles.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
