Move Users local profile from C: to another drive

-

migrating windows server 2008 terminal servers has been painful microsoft-product-orientated experience of my life! 

in first of many questions hope can assistance with...

is possible re-direct the users' locally cached profile drive?  in supported manner? 

we tend see heavy fragmentation on c: drive (causing performance degredation) , there danger c: drive could filled if roaming profiles are not deleted @ log off (preventing use of performance enhancer).



or missing something?  why no-one else concerned file fragmentation or full disks?  there should doing mitigate against these problems?  know can enable deletion of cached profiles on exit - norm?  i understand deletion of cached content mitigate disk space issue but is seen adequate protection against file fragmentation? 

many thanks, 




 

with single c: drive, if run out of space, have other issues going on.  if afraid of c: drive going full on single partition, how begin cope split partitions?  fragmentation, how expect changing on server?  page file should 1 size dshould never allowed expand or contract on own.  well, there should little if actual data on server cuts down on fragmentation immensely.  profiles, real cause of fragmentation , should minimal @ best.  occasional defrag should take care of that.
