Home Directory Issue

[Guest]

Hi All,

I am having a problem creating the home directoires via the home folder path
in the user profile.

Each time I give the path: Example \\servername\folder name\user

It tells me that the "folder was not created because I do not have create
access on the server" It then goes on to say that it has updated the user
account with the new home folder value but i must create the folder manually
after obtaining required access rights.

I am logged on as the administrator and am in the Domain Admin, Enterprise
Admin groups as well. I am using 2003 server.

I used to be able to do this all the time using 2000 server and now it has
the above message in 2003? Am I missing something? Please help!

Regards,

Tim

Tim-

Do you have ACLs on the top-level folder or the share that would prevent you
from creating and ACL'ing the folder? What are the share permissions and
folder permissions?

By Default in Windows 2003, the Share Permissions are READ-ONLY for
the everyone group. This just might be one of the reasons why you are
facing the Access Denied error.

Also the Server on which you are placing the Home Folders, is that a
member server or is it the same DC where you are setting users Home
Folder settings.
