    move files

    Seeking help from someone who is experienced in scripting. I am trying to
    move a home folder and its content from 1 server to another that I created
    that is virtualized.

    While you can do this with some VB Script of between 50
    and 100 lines, an easier solution would be to use dedicated
    administrative tools, e.g. this one:
    robocopy /s "d:\User Files" \\Server2\SomeShare\User Files *.*

    installed it, works fine the only drawback, it only does one copy/move at a
    time. So I can't move say H$ which has X user home dir's.

    Why can't you move the whole lot in one fell swoop?
    Just move one level up in the source tree!
