Move users roaming profiles to a new server..

[dawks]

We are planning on replacing our current file server with a new one. My big issue seems to be how to move the user profiles (on which, only the user themselves and system have access too). Is there a tool or some way I can copy these profiles from one server to another?

I plan on copying the profile folders over, and simply updating the profile path (with the new server name) in each users active directory account. That should work alright?

Thanks...

the administrator account does not have access? If you domain admin does not have access, I would worry about that.

Whenever we create a new user and they login, the user is given ownership and full control. system has some rights, but thats it. Thats not the default setup?

I'm guessing theres no easy way to add domain admin without logging into every users account and adding it...

the default setup should allow domain admin full rights too....unless you have specifically revoked them.
