I have four dell poweredge servers, each with the same general problem, the
system drive is configured too small, such that it too quickly ran out of
space.
With all four, upon first receipt, I moved the program files directory to
the larger drive (doesn't stop the common files folder from growing, but
helps). On two of the boxes, into which few logins had occurred, I
painstakingly went through the registry, moving the "documents and settings"
references to the larger drive. They both function perfectly, and have no
"d and s" folder on their respective drives. On the other two, which have
far more profiles, I ran into difficulties and decided against the registry
style move, opting instead for a junction point approach, but on a user
level. This was equally problematic, (started getting user.domain profile
folders, etc.), and I ultimately reverted that change
What I would like to do is simply have the "documents and settings" folder
to be non-existent on the system drive, but be on a drive ("D" in this case)
of my choice.
Is there a "simple" way to accomplish this? Even if it is necessary to use
a third party product.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
