In changing the Home drive variable, windows NT always trys to re-assign
permissions and create the dir for the user. The home variable setting
in user manager, will never create a user share, it will only create the
dir with permissions for the user.
The trick with this, is making the dir, the way you want with all
permissions and then sharing it with the '$' prior to updating the user
account.=20
You will still get a message stating that windows couldn't update
permissions on the dir (because it's already there) but it will work
fine.=20
For extra restrictions, you can indeed set share permissions too, but
you'll find that with the shares hidden, users won't see the folders on
browsing to the server, and your NTFS permissions will keep users from
going where they shouldn't go.
Keep playing, you'll get it.=20

Hi
Its TSE. I tried using \\servername\username$ but that actually created
a=20
directory with a $ at the end. I was under the impression, this would=20
create a hidden share but it didn't. I don't want to have to create a
share=20
manually for every Id I create.
The mapping works but it goes to the share level, not the %username%
level. =20
The user just needs to drill down into their id.. If I set the share
rights=20
at the user level, they should hopefully be able to see their own area.
Will play...
Thanks
Anthony
Is this TSE or Win2k?
Win2k servers can map to nested folders. IE
\\servername\share\folder.=3D20
TSE / NT 4.0 can't really do this though unless they are connecting to =
=3D
Netware servers.=3D20
Solutions get a little funky from there. You can use subst, but then you
=3D
get 2 drive mappings instead of one, although with policies you could =
=3D
try to hide the 'subst'd drive from the user.=3D20
You could also look at making your user directories hidden shares. =3D
\\servername\share\username$, with the permissions you've set on the =3D
directories, if you make all of those folders shares and append '$' to =
=3D
the end of the share name, they will be hidden but can be connected to =
=3D
with the proper rights. The change then in user manager should show x: =
=3D
\\servername\username$
The user then would see an X: that goes to their user name.=3D20
