Hi again Bill,
Ok I found that under ad domain controllers, NTFRS that
the domain sysvol share is pathed to F: under root path
and staging path.
Since my new 2003 has 12 gig for the c: partition should
I change that path ? I am afraid I am going to run into
problems. The new 2003 server will have a c: drive and
f: drive. But I'm not sure I want to have the sysvol in
another location than the os.
