The company I work for, having approx. 110 workstations, is currently running on an NT 4.0 domain and for email, an Exchange 5.5 server which is also running Blackberry Enterp. Srvr.
I have already created a replacement domain (Win2k3 R2) and replacement exchange srvr (E2k3E). I also have NAS device running MS Storage Server on this new domain with a share called Profiles which will house all user profile data. All logon id's have been created in the new domain with the Profile Path set as "\\nas-srvr\profiles\%username%".
In testing, I found that if the profile path + username is not already created, 1) it won't be created and 2) a temp profile is used. How do I get around this? Do I have to create all the directories manually and set their respective rights?
In the end, and since workstations retain their users' profile locally, I plan on moving these profiles to the respective Profile Path so that they are roaming profiles (and obviously for backup, security, etc purpose).
I am not doing an "upgrade" or "migration", this will be a clean-cut change over to an entirely new domain. I know that this means an overnite job, but it's the chosen path.
Regards,
Eddie
