This Home Directory folders can be located anywhere...It doesn't matter.
The home directories can be on non-domain controller servers. The only thing that matters is that the share and folder exists.
For example if your domain controller is called serverPDC but you have a general file server called FILESERVER, I would keep the home directories on the file server rather than the PDC.
So it would look like this...
H: \\Fileserver\bsmith$ for the bob smith profile
H: \\fileserver\rjones$ for the Randy Jones profile
H: \\fileserver\bclinton$ for the Bill Clinton profile
When the user logs onto the domain, they will try to map drive H: to \\fileserver\username$. As long as they have access to the share and NTFS, they will be successful with the map. You do not need to put the shares under the WINNT dir.
-hope this helps
