Move User NSF to New Location (Domino 8.5)
Hi,
We are running out disk space on D: drives. I want to move some selected users's mailbox (NSF) to a E:\. Is it possible? How?
Thanks you.

You might benefit from rethinking your strategy. According to best practices outlined in the Domino Wiki DAOS guide, you can gain significant advantages in Domino performance by implementing Transaction logging and DAOS, and putting that data on drives separate from the drive where Domino data resides.
Also in 8.5.3, you can put your full-text-indexes in another directory.
Implementing all three should provide you with ample space on your D: drive.
Although directory links are fully supported, the benefits of this alternative approach will be increased performance, and keeping all the databases in one location.

Too bad you went wwith the short term option instead of the long term option.
they can always do both, I suggested DAOS as well so maybe they will upgrad ODS and setup DAOS but will move files to folder in the short term until ready for long term solution.
