Redirecting My Documents Folder

[sslevy]

Currently we have our "My documents" folders redirected to one of our file servers via a group policy. We want to move the re-direction to our new file server. is it best to just repoint the group policy to the new location and have everyone log-off and then on again or is best to copy the files from one server to another and then do the redirection?

Old Server is Win2k and new one is Win2k3.

Thanks
Shari

the new server is already up and running and has been for the last 3 months. i just want the easiest way to re-direct the my documents folder.

this new server is a domain controller.

thanks
