To rephrase Don's answer. You create a share with the right perms. Then you assign the folder to the user with \\servername\share\%username%<file:///\\servername\share\%25username%25>
What are the right perms on the share you ask? http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/06/30/automatic-creation-of-user-folders-for-home-roaming-profile-and-redirected-folders.aspx From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Guyer, Don Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Home Directory - Security / Share setup recommendations "X:\Shares\Users\UserName (In this method only 1 share)" Create it through ADUC and it will assign the perms for you. \\shares\Users\%username%<file:///\\shares\Users\%25username%25> Make sure you have security set at the level above it (Users) the way you want right off the bat to prevent future issues.

[Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: InfoService-Logo240] From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Saunders Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 3:51 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] Home Directory - Security / Share setup recommendations I know this will be a newbie question, but I don't setup Windows Server very often. What methodology do you use for the Home Folder setup in AD? For example do you have an administrative share like \\server\users$<file:///\\server\users$> and then each user have a folder like this X:\Shares\Users\UserName (In this method only 1 share) Or do you have a share for every single user going to \\server\username<file:///\\server\username> which sits in a place like X:\Shares\Users\UserName (In this method many shares) What method do you use (list another if you have it) and if you use the first method what security do you place on the X:\Users folder and then the actual User folder to protect it from others. I have seen different variations and just wonder what is the standard methodology for setting this up.
