I have folder redirection in place at the office I work for. The user files currently reside in a folder on my file server. I am in the process of reworking the GPO and AD structure to facilitate better organization of files and users.
My question/issue is, is there any way I can move my existing users files into their new home without having to wait the hour plus for windows to do it automatically. In a test environment, a user with about 2GB worth of redirected data took approx. 30 minutes to move at log in. I have users that have 10GB plus of data that I would like to move to it's new home prior to the user logging in and having to wait several hours. I've tried copying the files over manually, but windows still acts like it's transferring files at log in (during the 'Welcome' screen.)
Is there any way to do this that is tried and tested? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
