Loginscript

[Tiago]

Hi NG-Readers

I have a question to a loginscript. I have created a
Folder for the User Profiles. In the User properties
there are the settings for the Userprofile to: \\besrv-
dc01\profiles$\%username%. This works just fine and user
writing theier profiles there in.

I konw it is normal, that i am not able to open the
folder user profiles as administrator. But i can take
owner-ship and set security permission. i dit this
mistake i know everytime a user logs on, there will get a
message, that the userprofile can not be loadet... . I
can now logon as that user and browse to the user profile
path and take owner ship. after that is everythin fine
like bevor. This is a lot of work, an i dont want to do
that. Its not nice to interuppt the user and somme times
to ask for the password.

Is there are a possible way to do this in the logonscript
of the user? The user have just to take owner ship at his
userprofile \\besrv-dc01\profiles$\%username% .

Thank you for your help

Interesting question. I'm sure there must be a command line tool to
take ownership of file system objects, but I am not aware of any.

However, what might work better for you is that when you do need to take
ownership, the permissions on the folder and all of it's contents are
reset to only allow you access. What you can then do is immediately go
back into the permissions and *also* grant the user permissions to the
folder and all it's contents. When you are done, you can remove
yourself from the permissions.

The user should not notice a thing!
