You have two options here:
- You can remove the GPO so that folders are moved back to the local PC first, and then create a new GPO which points to the new server
- If there is a lot of data, this can take a while. The user login will be slow.
- You must have the Folder Redirection GPO set to "redirect folders back to the local userprofile" option selected for this to work
- The other option is to copy all the files from the old server to the new server using robocopy. You can use the commands below to achieve this:
- robocopy /B <Source> <Destination> /Copyall /MIR /EFSRAW
- robocopy z: e:\shared\fr /e /copyall /zb /r:3 /w:5 /xo
Using the option above, you will eventually turn off
the share on the old server and then point the GPO to
the new server share. You cannot turn off the old share until every user has logged in and had
their folders redirected to the new server!
It is probably best to reboot the new server after making the GPO change
in order to make the change stick.
