Moving User Profiles and Users Home folders to a new drive - windows 2003
Windows 2008 domain controller storing 120 user profiles and all of their redirected user directories.
These are stored on a Windows 2003 Server (not a DC)
The server has two arrays on it.
1 - c and d drives - c has 3gb left on it d with the profiles and user documents on it has less than 4gb left.
2 a new 136 gb drive that is empty = E drive.
(PS both arrays are raid 1+0)
I need to move the profiles and user documents (about 20gb) to the new E drive.
is there a quick and easy way of doing this -
the 100+ users records all point to a share that these are stored on which i intend to recreate so i dont have to change any of the users records.
Sadly the drives used int he arrays are different sizes so i cant simply add the new storage to that array.....
is there another technology i can use to increase the size of the share in a virtual mannr - (dfs or some other such thing)
grateful for any help.

Thanks - i saw this which is why i asked for an easy way.
i think i will have to just move the user home folders
which causes me a problem as i have both entries in the user records set to the same share. if i move one set i would have to change all 120 records.
any other ideas. - is there a way of having two different disks as part of the same network share?
have been searching but cannot think of a way

that - i think is exactly the answer i was hoping for.
although if i move them all (roaming profiles) and user drives then i wont need to amend any, but is very useful for future reference.
many thanks
