Creating home drives using Active Directory

[captainjd02]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way for Windows Server to automatically create a folder that will be associated with a new user in Active Directory. As oppose to creating the folders manually then having to create different login scripts for each user. It would be similar to NetWare where you have the option to create a folder when a new object is created. Then a generic login script can be used for a whole group. If this is possible I would like to know how to do it. Thanks in advance.

In AD when you create a new user, right click on that user go into profile then at the bottom select connect a drive letter then in the open box enter the info like this

\\server name\users\john

the users folder should exist and then it will create the john folder and map that to the drive H. along with the proper permissions. You can also have other users connect to that folder the same way and it will ask you if you want to give permissions to the new user to access "john's" folder.
