Win 2K Terminal Server & Folder Redirection

[Cliff]

I have sucessfully redirected my users My Documents to the D drive of the
server, thus freeing up a great deal of space on C. Now I'd like to move
the rest of the user associated items like Application data, desktop items,
etc.

I see the Folder Redirection for the four items I want to change
(Application Data, Desktop, My Docs[already redirected] and Start Menu).

My question is, if I go in and redirect all of the above, when my users log
back in, will their data be moved over as well or will I have to move it
over myself? If I recall, when I reditrected my My Docs and the user logged
in, all of their My Docs were brought over from the old location. I'm
asking if that will happen to the other three object that I redirect or if
I'll need to copy it all over myself.

Thanks for all your help.

Just use roaming profiles (stored on another server if possible), delete the cached local copy (via GPO or Registry) and you won't have to redirect anything anywhere, plus you can add more Terminal Servers and users will get the same desktop regardless of where they logon

The only thing I redirect to save space is "My Documents", as I don't want My Documents being part of the user's profile, as it's too large
