basic 2003 server questions

Hello there,

I’m new to Win 2003 environment.
I’m setting up win 2003 SB for for a 30-employee company.I created an OU for the company in Server Management in AD.

How do you specify the home folder when you create a user? And where should the folder be?
I’m assuming users should see their home folder as a mapped drive(I: or H:) just like Novell!!

Also,in general where should the data be, should I create my own folders or use the built-in shared folders.??

I appreciate any advice.
Thanks
