how do i change the path of local profiles?
hi
we are on 2008 domain, and use some terminal servers (TS) for various departments. these users have roaming profiles - but of course create a local profile on the TS as well, question is how do i stop the profile from creating on the usual "c:\documents and settings" path to a path of my choice as they are casuing space shortages on the C partition?
the terminal servers are all server 2003

i dont remove cached profiles upon log of - tho i must test to see how effective that is,
If that feature is enabled and users log on and off of their sessions properly, it is very effective in ensuring only logged in users' profiles are cached on the C: drive.
