    HI, I have 2012 standard r2 installed and have added the essentials role. all seems to have gone well.

    I went to move the server folders off the system drive onto a storage space like it recommends ( and worked fine on 2012 essentials that i had before)

    each folder moves fine except the users folder, it cant complete because a ntuser.dat file is help open by the logged in user.

    has anyone here ran into this?

    this is a clean install with no data moved to it.

    I am using the built in method, right click the folder in dashboard, move, select destination, done, and error.

    Thanks!
