I run a domain network and thus all user profiles are kept on the server. Because one user keeps a very very large Thunderbird folder, his domain logons and logoffs take a very long time. I want to move his Thunderbird Profile to a different drive on the network so that it will not have to load the entire thing when he logs on. At the same time I want to give him a new profile name, rather than using the default profile.
Naturally I want him to keep all of his extensive address book and mail folder structures.
I propose to start a new profile for him on the S:\ drive (a network mapped location unique to each user but is not part of the network/pc profile.) Obviously I will have to move and rename his current profile. Are there any steps or precautions that I should take to make this move. This user is already mad at me because his hard drive died.
Oh well, such is the life of a network administrator.
