Guest teddkilroy Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Elementary Question for some, trying to move home folders from a 2003 Server to a NetApp. I have created a share called Users and plan to use the %username% so that the original folder can be created (many users). The problem is using the UNC path \\server\share\%username% they end up at the root of the share and can browse to their home folder. I am trying to eliminate that. I have try this on a teest account. Seeking solutions as to I can fix my path in their profiles so that all they can access is what is in their home folder. Thanks to those that respond.
Guest Danny Sanders Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Re: Home Folders Question Windows maps to a share. You can share their user folder as hidden (username$) and map directly to the hidden share. hth DDS "teddkilroy" <teddkilroy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:46FBEE5B-2B80-464B-AB35-EE1B40184203@microsoft.com... > Elementary Question for some, trying to move home folders from a 2003 > Server > to a NetApp. I have created a share called Users and plan to use the > %username% so that the original folder can be created (many users). > > The problem is using the UNC path \\server\share\%username% they end up at > the root of the share and can browse to their home folder.

Guest Tom Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Re: Home Folders Question I use their profile (in ADUC) to set the home folder location and drive mapping. I use the same syntax, \\server\home\%username%, and it creates and sets permissions to the folder correctly. Works very well. When it comes time to create a new user, simply copy an existing user. All other mappings (departmental, common, applications) are set via a Group Policy login script.
