Actually you could move all of the home directories to the new server using Robocopy, preserving the permissions and use the profile method mentioned previous to assign the directory to the user changing only the server name. Windows will prompt you if you want the user to have full permissions to the folder. Answer "no" and the permissions will remain as you left them. Our users have Modify permissions on their specific home directories, nothing more.
