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.

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…”:
Upon the question “copy / remove / cancel”, answer “remove” to get rid of all the previous permissions.
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
Because in a normal session these folders are used and can't be copied, I've created a batch file:
rem rem copier.bat rem touch "e:\pruebas\copy-operation-started.txt" robocopy "c:\Documents and Settings\temp" "e:\users" /mir robocopy "c:\Documents and Settings\All Users" "e:\users" /mir robocopy "c:\Documents and Settings\Default User" "e:\users" /mir touch "e:\pruebas\copy-operation-finished.txt"
And programmed an Scheduled Task.
The e:\pruebas is a shared folder, so I can check when the operation has started and finished without logging into the computer.
