The roaming profile is easy to change on a per-user basis, but the folder 
redirection path is set in GPO and is a little trickier to test on a small 
scale.

  I believe so.  Always worth testing, and this one is pretty easy to
test, since you can override it on a per-account basis with ease.

  One thing worth noting: As I recall, the path used for the roaming
profile is looked up only at logon.  So if a user logs on and you then
change the roaming profile path in their account, that logon session
will still use the old path at logout.  This shouldn't matter for the
scenario described above, but if you're actually changing servers it
can.
