Software

I am somewhat of a newbie too but we map our network drives via a login script defined within the GPO.

It is pretty straight forward to create a share based on the User Name and list the path in the Profile section of their AD Properties using The Admin Tools snap-in Active Directory Users and Computers i.e.
Connect "Drive" U: path \\server\users\usersname

Hi
This is my first job as System Admin,and i really want to prove myself, I am stuck with the exact same problem. The IT Manager has asked me to create a folder for every user on the file server and map the Active directory to those folders, so that whenever a user comes and connects to the office network he can save his data in his folder. Hope you understand my problem and tell me the solution.

thanks in advance
P.S

HI,

Hope this finds you well.

This assumes that you have a dedicated file server (e.g. 196.11.11.11) to store your Users information (e.g. in a folder called Users).

1. Given the above assumptions. Right click on one of your users in the Active Directory and select Properties.

2. In the properties dialog select the profile Tab.

3. As indicated in your question select connect and 'U' and in the To type your Directory e.d. \\196.11.11.11\User\x where can be a the same user name that will uniquely identify the user in the user's folder.

Note: You don't have to create this x name in the file server if it was not there it will be created by reference. Note also that you will have to be careful with user's overloading this with multimedia and thereby filling up your space quicker than expected. Hope this helps.
