Migration of user profiles

Hello !

Do You know what is the best solution for migration of users's local
profiles from
C:\documents and settings to for example E:\documents and settings
All profiles are roaming but also are kept on the local drive of TS.

Also to make new location default for new profiles.
Is it necessery to modify each user's profile path in registry ?

Have you tried with a GPO that deletes the locally cached copy of
the roaming user profile after logoff? If you are not extremely
short on disk space on your C: drive, that's usually all you need.

Moving the locally cached copy of the profile is rather time
consuming and not supported, but it can be done. Here's the
documentation:
