1/ create a directory on the SME server under the user's home 
directory called "My-Documents" (or what ever you want to call it).

2/ on the Windows system, while logged in as the user, right-click on 
"My Documents", down to "Properties" and left-click.

3/ Now click on the "Move" button and browse to the SME server, find the 
folder you created in 1 above and click "OK".  Windows should now move all 
the user's documents from the workstation to the server.

4/ Repeat step 1 for each user on the network.

5/ Repeat steps 2 & 3 for each user on each workstation. (Ade will bring 
up Group Policies here as this would allows you to do this just once on 
the Windows server)

HTH
