SBS2003 "documents and settings" folder in 2 places

It's not easy to know which is the right one... because you apparently have made copies of things, and perhaps even created a new user account called administrator1, but you haven't indicated if you've implemented Folder Redirection (by running the My Documents Folder Redirection Wizard).

But try this... log into a workstation with the Administrator Account... then Click START and Right Click on My Documents > Properties.  What does it say in the "Target:" box?

One thing I should mention... the fact that you have about 500MB of files in the Administrator's Documents would suggest to me that you are using that account on a regular basis... BAD IDEA.  The Built-in administrator account should only be used when you need to install, uninstall or reconfigure something on the server.

Hello Jeff,  Thanks for your quick response.  I will be checking what it says in the "target" box tomorrow when I am on site again.  I do tech support for several small businesses and this is one I have just taken on where someone with no professional experience has been administrating the network hence the mess things are in.  I have explained the importance of not using the administrator account as a regular account and am now starting to clean up the mess.  He has already copied some user files to the d: drive and then had a problems with rights etc as it wasn't done using xcopy as in the procedure outlined by MS.  I am only becoming familiar with SBS 2003 myself and don't want to exacerbate the situation. My plan is to move the files from the administrator account to a backup location then move the users folders to another drive  ( after backing them up ),  share the folder as "users" and rerun the Folder Redirection wizard.  Does this sound about right?

Thanks for your help Jeff,  It appears the folder redirection part had already been carried out so I just moved c:\users shared folders to an archive folder on another drive.
