Access based enumeration would be a good idea.

1)      1 share as Users and the all the users shares under them, but the user 
can only see there own share because only they and the local administrators 
would have at least read access.

2)      Could combine this later with DFS for replication if you want ( just an 
idea)

So you are saying have Home Folder with check next to Connect and use whatever 
drive letter from drop down and use \\server\users<file:///\\server\users> in 
the To edit box?  Not \\server\users$<file:///\\server\users$> (administrative 
share).

This may be the area of what I have seen note quite right in the past.  Let's 
say all users are in group called STAFF.  What security would you put in the 
?:\Shares\Users folder that would prevent other users going to the 
\\server\users<file:///\\server\users> share from being able to see / read 
contents of subfolders?
Sorry for such a simple question... but it has been a while and I want to be 
sure I have really been doing it correctly.

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.

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.
Thanks
