Here's how I usually do it ...

 

Create a parent folder on the server - e.g., D:\HOME

 

Share it (\\SERVER\HOME$) and set the share permissions to everyone=full

control

 

Set the NTFS permissions to Administrators, System=Full Control. Grant

Domain Users special/advanced permissions on this folder & files only -

(traverse folder/execute file, list folder/read data, read attributes, read

extended attributes, create folders/append data, and read permissions)

 

In each user's ADUC properties, for the home directory, just pick the drive

letter you want (I use h for home), and specify \\server\home$\%username% -

the user's home directory will be created.

This has nothing to do with the profile.... you're probably going to want to

use folder redirection via group policy, tho, and you can set it to go to

the home directory (My Documents, Desktop, Application Data).

You won't need to if you specify the home directory in ADUC as per above
