How to change folder redirection to a new server
We currently have a policy in place that redirects all users My Documents to a file server. The existing file server is a Windows 2000 server. We want to move all the documents to a new Windows 2008 r2 server. We have a mixture of Windows XP and Windows 7 workstations for the users. Can I:
1. Manually copy all the user folders from the old server to the new server using XCOPY source destination /o
2. Then change the GPO to read \\newserver\users\%usernam
and everything will be good to go? I have read so many conflicting ways of doing this. Thanks!

You are correct move user profile data using robocopy or xcopy or File server migration tool then change the profile path in folder redirection policy.

What are the correct switches for Robocopy? I want to copy the ownership, permissions, etc. over to the new location exactly as it currently is on the existing file server. Thanks!
