Re: Existing PCs to new server

Thanks for taking the time to read and post here Brandy. I had several other
"fires" to put out at the end of last week and haven't been able to get back
here to the newsgroup.

I was able to take care of the problem I was having after running the
"redirect My Documents" wizard again. Thanks again for your help.
