When I created AD (sometime ago) I created a
folder "Profiles" and the users profiles point to this
folder using %username%.

Well I would like to move the folder (all the users
profiles) to another HD but the system won't let me?

How can this be acomplished ?

I know I will have to repoint it in AD to the new HD, but
how do I copy the folder ?
 
Looks like a permissions problem

You either choose to take ownership and add new permissions or you can
also use a backup and restore to alternate location (make sure to
check preserve security in ntbackup when restoring)

If you are on the same server you dont need to repoint the users in AD
providing you share the new folder with the same sharename

If the new HD is on a different server you can either choose to
repoint the users manually, one by one or use a vbscript like this
one:

************

Set ou = Getobject("LDAP://ou=Sales,dc=demo,dc=com")

For each obj in ou

if obj.profilepath = "\\old-server\profile\" & obj.cn Then
obj.profilepath = "\\new-server\profile\" & obj.cn
obj.setinfo
end if

Next
