Hello,
I have a server running 10.5. I have a hard drive of old Home folders for about 500 users that is from an older 10.3 server.
Users want access to their old files. Just copying over the Home folders works fine. The issue I'm having is I don't want the Library folder to be copied over, because it contains old preferences that are causing a problem.
So basically I have two folders that look like this:
/Users
jdoe
dsmith
bjones
/oldUsers
jdoe
dsmith
bjones
Within each Home folder for each user I have a Documents, Movies, Pictures, Desktop, and Library folder. I need to copy the contents of /oldUsers/jdoe to /Users/jdoe, but not the Library folder.
So I think I need a bash or AppleScript to do this. Programming really isn't my strong point and I'm just struggling reading sites on bash scripts.
Thanks all
