We have all sorts of problems in office apps if they aren't in our 2003 domain.
Here are a couple script files for you.
First create a script to pull out your users names from your profile
directory. Of course all of this hedges on that all of your users have logged
on at least once and have a profile. Otherwise it is useless.
Lets call it getusers.cmd
@Echo Off
Dir /B F:\Profiles >F:\users.txt
This assumes your profiles folder is on drive F: Edit to your drive and
profiles dir. It outputs the users to a file called users.txt
Next create a simple yes answer text file called Yes.txt just put the letter
Y in the file and save it in your root directory where you saved the users.txt
file.
Finally here is your script to set permissions. Lets call it
set_perms_users.cmd
For /F %%1 in (F:\users.txt) do xcacls F:\Users\%%1 /T /C /G administrators:F
%userdomain%\%%1:CO System:F <yes.txt
This assumes that your users files are in F:\users change that to your users
directory. It gives the user full priveleges on all their files and adds the
administrators group so you can manage them.
You can do the same for your profiles with a set_perms_profiles.cmd that just
changes the directory to your profiles directory.
For /F %%1 in (F:\users.txt) do xcacls F:\profiles\%%1 /T /C /G
administrators:F %userdomain%\%%1:CO System:F <yes.txt
Change the F:\ to your drive and profiles directory.
Hope this helps.

I direct profiles and home folders to separate places, thus the only

they place there.
With this being the case, is it necessary for the user to be the owner of their
folder? I have it both ways and I have not had any problems. FYI, I will
never redirect app data, desktop, or start menu into the home folder.
I do have the profiles folders setup where the user is the owner, as
everything I read said this is necessary.
