Currently, when we create new accounts on our Windows domain, we redirect each user's "My Documents" to an individual shared folder, just for that user, on one of our file/print servers.
This seems to work OK, but I was recently asking myself, "why do we do this?" and "would the server's OS see a reduction on overhead if we simply redirected to the folder under a common share instead?"
Aside from the administrative simplification of not having to create these individual shares, does anyone know that this would lessen the demand on the Windows Server 2003 OS or not?
