MyDocs strange: can't delete what I create

[Rafael]

Clients using win2k, server using server2003
Clients profile shows \\server\users\username
client moves mydocuments folder to server share
\\server\users\username\my documents
client able to create folders
client unable to destroy folders
local \\documents and settings\username\my documents shows
folders, and when destroyed from here, folder is destroyed

This only occurs on two of 10 users, and I don't see what
the difference is between the way I have set them up. All
other users create folders/documents in MyDocs and they
don't show up in their local \\docs&settings folder.

Help!

You do not want to put My Documents in the
client roaming profile tree, if that is what you
are doing. (You have a roaming profile when
the user's AD entry has a share named in
the account "profile" field.)

Map My Documents to a separate share tree on the
server, and then map the user folder in that share
as a drive letter at login. Point the user's My Documents
to that drive.

That sounds like what I may be doing...so per your next
paragraph, I need a separate tree for users' MyDocs folders?

Map My Documents to a separate share tree on the
server, and then map the user folder in that share
as a drive letter at login. Point the user's My Documents
to that drive.

I think I get your drift, but it took me a couple of
readings: I create a folder for users documents folders,
say pubdocs, share that folder, create a user folder per
user in that folder, then how do I share as drive letter at
login?

This isn't too clear from my reading, which is mainly
Minasi Mastering Win2k3 server: other suggestions for
reading regarding this topic i.e. setting up user accounts?
