Home Folders Setup

[Pat]

I am running AD with 2 W2K DC's. I want to setup a user
template for new users with a home folder profile that points to
\\server\username$ share. we hide the user shares. is it possible to
use this path in the user profile?

Hi Pat,

You should create a share on the server first. For example:
\\server\homefolder. You can change the share name to \\server\homefolder$.

Then, you can point the user home folder to the
\\server\homefodler$\username

We can't set the home folder to the \\server\homefolder$\username$. If so,
the system will create the username$ folder under the homefolder$ share.

You also can manually create the \\server\username$ share first. Then, set
the home folder to \\server\username$ folder. The system will give you a
warning window about the folder is exist. You can click OK. It also works.
But, you should manually create the folder.
