Move redirected My Documents
I have redirected all my users documents to a share on a windows 2003 server. The drive is running out of space so we purchased a SANS which is hooked to that server. Now I want to move the share that has all the users My Docs to that new SANS without it effecting the users. Can I just remove the share that I currently have on the D drive (old drive) and set up a share on the SANS with the same name and copy over all the docs to that share without it effecting anyone? Good lord I hope all that made sense!!

Thanks for your help.
Or which is most likely going to be the easiest way is go into the GPO change the path make sure you have the option to Move Contents to new location this will move the data over for you and your users
I like to use this comand:
robocopy drive:\currentfoldername newdrive:\newfolder name /MIR /COPY:DATSOU
robocopy drive:\currentfoldername newdrive:\newfolder name /MIR /COPY:DATSOU
I agree dariusg!

Big thing for me is that a lot of my users are quite a distance from my location so if I mess up and they have to sync all their docs across the network I will have a big problem.
In your redirected documents policy, change the shared path to your new location. Make sure you set up the share/NTFS permissions according to Microsofts best practices
