    Hello,

    I have an issue in which I need to expand storage for a data storage location (lets call it drive D:). This is on a virtual server and I would prefer to not use the "Expand" option within disk management due to a hardware issue.

    Instead I want to add another RAID1 drive set (lets call it drive E:) and replicate the data AND permissions from drive D: to drive E:

    I would like to then disable the UNC shares on drive D: and recreate the same names and permissions (on the same server) on drive E:.

    I know from an SMB perspective this will work fine. My question is whether or not folder redirection will freak out. I don't see how it would as I am never changing the UNC path within the GPO and the permissions are all the same for the user folders. However, I have seen folder redirection do some weird things in the past and wonder if anyone else has done this without having trouble.

    No it will not. Make sure you copy all ACLs (robocopy /sec)... From the client perspective, nothing will change, so nothing will happen :)
     
    These "weird" things are mostly related to incomplete understanding how FR will behave if things DO change.
