That's a _huge_ "it depends." For example I have users in two domains, for one domain when I type "\\server\share\%username%" in ADUC and hit OK, then it creates the user's home directory 'automatically' with all appropriate permissions when the user logs in for the first time. I'm sure part of this is the Group Policy Object in my case that specifies "grant rights to user home path" which is in the user's ADUC object. Although on the other domain they don't let us edit the Profile tab of the user's object, so we have a custom web form where we type in "\\server\share\username", notice this is NOT a variable we have to actually specify the user's user name. Here since I'm not typing it into ADUC I must create the folder manually and set permissions.
If you're in a "standard" Microsoft environment and have admin access to the ADUC user object, you should be able to just type it into ADUC, let the user log in and "presto" it's done. Try it on a test user and verify. On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 6:59 AM, Tom Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks, folks.
