Yeah, but I don't know how off the top of my head. This snazzy little
utility http://www.digallery.com/diskdata/ does a great job of showing
what's eating your space. Some quick cleanup may go a long way.

I've used Drive Image to do similar things, but I haven't messed with it
since Symantec bought it out.

Easy solution: Win 2000 and up allow you to mount a disk partition at an
arbitrary point in a filesystem (like Unix has always done) rather than
assigning a drive letter. If it's the users data eating space, you could
add a drive, and mount it at C:\Documents and Settings. That would spare
you the hassle of changing all the paths around.

My Terminal server is out of drive space on the C: drive. Two
questions, can I move the profiles and home directories to another
server? Can I use drive copy to copy the C: drive and then put the
contents on a bigger drive?

One thing I did because I have the same problem. I moved the
epicor/mfgwk60 folder to my D: Of course you have whacked all the temp files
in the epicor/mfgwk folder. I had to whack around 100 MB every month that
would accumulate until no one could log on.

I go through the folder on terminal server every morning and delete the
contents of the folder.
About 120 - 150 meg every day. These are temp and sort files that
are unnecessary anyway.
Sometimes I encounter files that are still active. Obviously I bypass
them. There is nothing
in that folder that cannot be deleted that would cause you problems.
