Hi Shaun<br />
<br />
We will be changing the name of the server and ip address. &nbsp;Our naming structure is changing from blastrite-dc to blast-dc02 for example.

To whom it may concern<br />
<br />
Our client has a local Windows domain network. &nbsp;Virtual Servers run on Hyper-V. &nbsp;Description of servers involved in scenario.<br />
<br />
(Blastrite-DC)<br />
Virtual Server:<br />
Windows 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit<br />
Intel Xeon E5520 @ 2.27Ghz, 10GB ram<br />
<br />
For example purposes: Blast-Offline<br />
New Virtual Server<br />
Windows 2012 R2 Standard<br />
(Specs to be confirmed once server is created) <br />
<br />
No logon script or GPO exist that automatically activates it. &nbsp;Users do not use roaming profiles.<br />
<br />
Basically Blastrite-DC has a Users folder (C:\Users) with network folders for each user in the domain. &nbsp;The users then have a Z:\ drive on their machine which is made offline with their data. &nbsp;We need to migrate the offline files to the new server and then have the users sync / use offline file from the new server.<br />
<br />
What is the best practice procedure to do this?<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you require further details on the setup.<br />
<br />
Kind Regards<br />
