RE: symlink c:\users?
In Terminal Server\RDS-land I moved users to a D: drive with very simple registry change and it works flawlessly, all new users drop to the new drive, and it was trivial moving the existing ones over.

Re: symlink c:\users?
I'm moving my 2008 users to a 2012 box.I use roaming profiles for the RDS users so it should be easyI think.
