Creating home folders for existing users...

J

Jake

Hi,

We have had a group of users which only have had local profiles and no
personal home folders. Thay have only worked against common shared
folders and used print services.

Now we need to have home folders (with appripriate security rights)
automatically created the next time these users log on to the domain.
How can we do that?

Alternatively if there is a tool which can loop through an AD OU and
automatically create folders for each user in that OU.

thanks a lot for comments and/or solutions to this

regards

Jake

Hello,

You can use DSRAZOR for Windows to handle this task for you. DSRAZOR for
Windows can populate the "homeDrive" and "homeDirectory" attributes for your
users, as well as creating the actual directory on your file server and
setting permissions on that directory. DSRAZOR will even let you do this in
bulk so that you could modify your entire userbase at once.

This is not a free tool, but it is free to download and evaluate. If you
would like a one-on-one web presentation on how we could make this project
easier for you then visit our website:
