when creating users using the command dsadd user, you can specify an optional switch -hmdir followed by the UNC to the homedirectory.
My question is:
Is this also supposed to ACTUALLY CREATE the home directory for the user, setting up the security and everything ?
I have the impression that the data is only entered as a text string in the user object in A.D. but no action is happening on the server hosting the homedirectories.
And if it isn't, is there a way to create these homedirs, including setting up all the security, for over 500 users in batch, without having to write any additional script files ?
