K, here’s a tricky one, For some reason, the previous member of staff set up the home directory’s for users in strange format: \\filestore101\users$\SiteName\UsersInitials Eg. \\filestore101\users$\Site1\AQ1 In some cases there's even a site sub directory EG. \\filestore101\users$\site1\HR\Aq1 Now this is causing a bit of a problem since i plan on migrating the data to a new file server. Now ideally, what I'd like to do is flatten the structure (i.e. no more subdirectories in the users$ share). This would be simple enough if the users home directory was named after their username since i could simply flatten the structure and run a batch file to rename the home directory path to \\filestoreNew\users$\%username% however the user's folders are named in a completely random manner eg \AQ1 or \AQ01 So I’ve got a few options, non of which are ideal when you consider i have 800 users. option 1) Recreate new users folders using the %username% command, then copy the contents manually from the old users folder to the new folder. option 2) flatten the structure and keep the old folder names and then rename the path to the users home directory I was wondering if anyone has a script or knows a programs that will rename a user home directory based on their username or if anyone has any other solutions to my problem. Thanks Andy

I a aware of folder redirection, however this does not solve the problem. How would i move the contents from the old folders? Thanks Andy

Have you checked the Resource Kit for migration tools to help you?

It helps in that you can flatten the structure, and then use folder redirection to complete the migration. Please help survivors of Hurricane Katrina. www.redcross.org
