adding home folders

[scoobydoo26]

I'm trying to setup home folders in AD and am running across the following problem:

I've added a folder "users" and placed it under the Winnt directory..
I've created a folder for JohnDoe (placed inside the "users" folder) and shared it as "JohnDoe$"
I've created the user via a template with home folder as: \\servername\users\johndoe$

The message i get is "The \\servername\users\johndoe$ home folder was not created because the network name cannot be found.

any help greatly appreciated

In this meathod of creating home directories, you should configure the profile to match the following format:

H: \\servername\johndoe$

not

H: \\servername\users\johndoe$

I tried that and i get "home folder cound not be created because network name cannot be found"

Eventhough you got that message, can you verify that the share exists?

Try to map a drive as the user to \\servername\johndoe$

If you can map this drive, try to login to the network. Now see if you have your home drive mapped.

Ignore the error message in the future. Joseph L. Poandl
