I work for a company whose remote users access network resources via Citrix MP Server 4.0 installed on a Win2K Adv server. The server uses a 5-drive RAID configuration and has 2 partitions, M: and N:. M: is the system partition, but the person who installed and configured the server has the user profiles in the Doc's and Settings directory on this partition (which, ironically, is less than 20% of the size of N:). I have since inherited this configuration, and I am trying to figure out the easiest way to transplant the 25-or-so profiles to N: - can this be done without re-inventing the proverbial wheel? This machine is not running AD and is not a member server on the domain to which the remainder of the computers on the LAN belong. I hope I don't have to create all new profiles with new pathing and manually move all the data, but I defer to the experts.
Thank you all in advance.

Persoanlly i would to a full backup of the profiles directory, then restore them to the new area. Restore with the permissions, then simply change the profile paths.

Damn the lack of edit feature.!

Then just redirect the documents and settings folder to the folder you specify.
