Guest Mark Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I delete a user qsmith from AD but when the server boots up in the event viewer I get the message below for all those users I delete. How do you go about deleting this or using net share? Thanks, The server service was unable to recreate the share qsmith because the directory d:\users\qsmith no longer exists. Please run "net share qsmith /delete to delete the share, or recreate the directory d:\users\qsmith

Please run "net share > qsmith /delete to delete the share, or recreate the directory > d:\users\qsmith Hi - I see you already got this resolved, but note that it's best not to share each subfolder as a home directory. Unless you're using WinNT/XP clients, you can map a drive to the subfolder of a share. So I'd use \\server\users\%username% as the home directory - and share only Users. That said, when you are going to delete a shared folder, unshare it first.

I inherited an environment where 40 folks each has a \\servername\%username% share as their home directory. This doesn't scale well. We do use home directories (U:\ becomes \\localserver\users$\%username%) and redirect My Documents to same via GP. Not sure of the actual security benefit of hiding the users$ share since its pretty well-known, but hiding shares that end-users shouldn't ever need to browse/discover is also a Good Idea. -bws

The only time I leave the "users" folder as a non-hidden share is in SBS environments, because that's one of those weird SBS things you can't change without mucking something up. All other shares are hidden....why not?
