Please excuse if I am in wrong group....seemed best fit considering. After server migration of redirected home directories from Windows 2000 server to new Win2003 storage server, 100 users are now having problems when saving Word or Excel files to network. The error: Disk full or to many files open. Workaround right now for 100 users is to save-as locally and copy file to network share. Changes leading up to problem. ----- Server-A Windows 2000 server... is a file server, domain controller, exchange 2000 server, and also a Norton antivirus server. Group policy settings have the My Documents folder redirected to \\server-a\home\user.name\ In active directory on this server for each users properties, the Profile Tab had U: mapped to //server-a/home/user.name. (ok I know server-a is way overloaded) Server-B is a new Windows2003 Storage server. I've used the Microsoft File Server Migration Tool, to move the users home directories, share info, and permissions. I did not use the DFS namespace settings because the source server-a was a Domain Controller. Then I removed the share permission for old server-a for the \\server-a\ once file migration completed. After all files copied and I verified the shares and permissions were ok. Changed the Group Policy to point the My Documents to new \\server-b\\home\%username%\My Documents , and after that changed the setting in Active Directory Profile tabe to map the U:\ drive to the new UNC name of \\server-b\home\user.name. Tested by logging into the windows and verifying that I could see the new U:\ drive mapping, and the that the location of the My Documents mapped to the new \\server-b. That worked fine. At this time I did not know that the GPO had been set for redirected AppData to the \\server-a\home\%username% I made the new entry and forced the GPO update next afternoon when users lost started having trouble with their Quick Launch bar not showing up after login..Users have offline folders enabled by default with Windows 2000, and started noticing that their offline file synchronization was failing, because they could not contact the old \\server-a, and their location of their My Documents was still pointing to the old server-a. Disabled Offline Files for users manually, rebooted their computers for changes to take effect. Now they show correct location for My Doc's folder. But now we started noticing that when they edit Word or Excel documents on a mapped network drive they were unable to save. The error that we are receiving is Disk full or to many files open. Clearly the server has enough space a 4gb free. Work around is to save-as locally and copy to the mapped network share. I have not set GPO to control disable of offline folders. Anyone have any ideas that can get the file save back on track for word and excel? I suspect it has something to do with the AppData redirection, but do not know how to get it going again and lined up to work correctly. Fallback to old serve is not an option that I want to explore beacuse server-a is on last leg and I hope to get email migrated off before we really have trouble. Thanks in advance for any info that you migh provide. -SJS

Has anyone been able to help with this? I have a simlar issue

I have nearly the identical situation here. There seems to be little that I can do to change the UNC path for either the roaming profiles or the My Documents folder redirection GPO. I've tried just about everything I can think of - but nothing seems to work.

Any solutions to this? I'm preparing for a similar migration and i'm researching possible issues.
