How to move appdata to another drive?

Question

System administration

Good day.
There is a terminal server ms server 2008r2. Users 50 pieces. And there is an ssd practically unused.
I read the manual for transferring folders of one user, but it takes a long time to do it by hand for everyone.
How to transfer all users' appdata folders to this ssd while maintaining rights?

Answer 2

You can't do this from under the system, it won't allow you to move the system folder.
1) We connect the SSD, we determine the letter for it.
2) after booting into a third-party system, connect two disks to it - your disk with appdata and SSD.
3) Move appdata to SSD
4) Create a link to the new location on the old disk We boot mklink /J старый_адрес_папки новый_адрес_папки
from the server and see the appdata folder in place, but all its contents will be on the SSD.

Answer 3

To be honest, I don't see the point in moving each user's AppData to an SSD, you won't get the speed boost you want.
Where it is more useful to place there:
- swap file;
- %temp% of users and system;
- user browser cache folders;
- Make a hardlink from C:\Windows\System32\wbem;
If you print on the terminal from CAD programs, then you can also transfer the raw preparation directory for printing there.
If there is something else specific to your organization, then it can be calculated through the Resource Monitor \ Disk \ Disk Performance
And now you are digging in the wrong direction.
