How to Move User Profiles From One Terminal Server to Another
Terminal Server is an application that lets network administrators remotely control and manage computers. Since you save your profile to the server, you don't need to set up the connection each time you use the software. You can transfer your profiles from one computer to another by simply copying the files to a mapped network drive. This is a convenient way to keep your settings if the Terminal Server configurations change.
