I have a windows 2003 Terminal Server and I want it so that when a user logs into it, the
profile and home folderis stored on a different drive on the same server. So
far I have created a U: drive under the profile tab (on the 2003 AD server) to
store the Home Folder. I have tried multiple other combinations of mapping
the profile paths as well, but even if the profile looks to be stored on the
U:drive, when files are saved to my documents, it is still stored on the C:
drive. Please advise.

Thank you
 
Whatever you may choose... (you can also implement roaming profiles), the user profiles will be stored at one point at c:\D&S\[user]

You can limit the quantity and the time it stays there...

EG if you implement roaming profiles, you can use GPO to delete all profile info on local server after logoff.

Guest users have their profiles deleted on logoff too, automatically...

OOPS too quick on the click!

you can also use GPO to redirect desktop, my documents .. and a few more profile directories, but its a bit of a pain to setup and get working.....

What are your reasons for wanting to change folder locations on the same drive (curious, i know, but it might help us come up with yet another brilliant idea !!! :)
