Change of Users Folder In Windows Remotely

Intro : this is a research, and I don't put it into practice

This is a research work: I plan to put it into practice, but at the present moment, I've didn't to this yet. Take it at your own risk.

My notes

El procedimiento para hacerlo es sencillo:

1. camibar por registry la ubicación de los perfiles:

2. reiniciamos máquina y entro yo solito: me creará un perfil en la nueva ubicación e:\users 3. muevo todos los perfiles a la nueva ubicación y hago lo que dice aquí:

4. el único que no se podrá mover de la antigua ubicación es el mío, adm-rlunaro: reservar 5. finalizo pasos y creo el enlace virtual y toda la pesca 6. reinicio 7. vuelvo a entrar y copio a mano los ficheros que me falten a mi perfil.

Y tan contentos.

Intro

For the purpose of this manual, I will consider that I want to move all the “c:\documents and settings” folder to “e:\documents and settings”. The destination machine is a Windows 7 server, but I think the procedure is at least correct for a Windows 8 server.

Create the e: folder and give it permissions

I've created a folder in e: and I've make sure that the permissions are exactly the same (properties → security → advanced). Restart the machine, to make sure the changes work.

If you are not specially keen on permissions, take this steps:

1. remove the “allow inheritable permissions…”:

INSERT 01.PNG

Upon the question “copy / remove / cancel”, answer “remove” to get rid of all the previous permissions.

INSERT 02.PNG

2. insert using the “add” button, the proper permissions. Copy them from the original folder. In my case c:\documents and settings.

Copy the "default user" "all users" folder and make sure the permissions are copied also

I've just opened an explorer window and copied the folders temp, Default User and All Users. After this, I reassured that the permissions are copied also.
