Our client machines (all XP and Vista) make use of roaming profiles and
folder redirection. They look to something like \\server1\profiles and
\\server1\folders for this. The "profiles" and "folders" shares are
located on a PowerVault SCSI storage system that's attached to Server1.

Server1 has reached its end of life, and is being replaced with Server2.
My plan is to disconnect the PowerVault from Server1 and plug it into
Server2 (more about that in another thread). I'll then need to
reconfigure users accounts and the relevant GPOs to point to
\\server2\profiles and \\server2\folders.

Has anyone ever done this? Any caveats? I've been doing some research,
and some of what I've read seems to indicate that this can be trickier
than it sounds--especially if Offline Folders are in use (which we have
enabled for all of our machines so users can access their stuff even if
disconnected from the network).
