How about running a script against AD that queries that setting, to look for any empty values?

That's the way it's done. I just want some way of making sure that it is set to head off the support calls that may ensue if some user gets missed (because they will get some ugly errors). I could do it with a quick batch command but I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything different.

I have some users that I don't want to be able to log on to the system unless they have a valid home drive set. Is there any way anyone can think of to achieve this? I could just do a "if not exist H: logoff" action as a logon script but that seems to run a little clunkily, does anyone have a more elegant way of achieving this that they can think of offhand?
