Default Changing the default Documents and Settings location


Is there a way to change the Documents and Settings
default location. I am running Terminal Services and when
users are created it drops the Documents and Settings in
to root of my system drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
Michael

Default Re: Changing the default Documents and Settings location

The best time to do this is at setup. I know what you're thinking --
there's nowhere in setup that I can specify it.

If you create an unattended answer file containing the following, name it
"winnt.sif" and place it on a floppy, that should take care of things. If
not, you'll need to put some more stuff in your SIF file (I've never done
this, personally).

[GUIUnattended]
ProfilesDir = d:\profiles

The other method is for an existing installation. Note that the article
says that Microsoft does not support this method. I understand totally why.

I will feel absolutely no guilt if you do this and blow your server away. I
wouldn't do it on a server I cared much about.

Hope this helps

Oli
