My Docs redirect in Terminal Server
I have a client with a Terminal server(2K8). I want to redirect the users' My Docs and desktop to their file server(SBS08). It's pretty straight forward when you do it on a single user basis. But I'm trying to figure out how difficult would be to do this to all users via GPO.
My primary concern is how to tranfer files currently sitting in the Terminal Servers C:\Documents and Settings\ Folders. Is there an automated way to get those files moved over to the remote location?
I was thinking about trying to tie into to the existing home folders already setup for the users. I know when done on a single user basis you can just copy your current My Docs to the remote location and any exisiting files will remain intact. I just wanted to make sure any automated approach would not over writing any preexisting files in their home directory.
If no automated task is available I could use rich copy to do all the copying and then impliment the GPO change. Just wanted to get any feedback to see if I'm approaching it the easiest way.
