Creating a Home Folder for Users

  • Share the Users folder by doing an advanced share.
  • Go to Active Directory Users and Computers on the server Double Click the Users folder and then Right-click a user and select Properties.
  • Select the Profile tab.
  • On the Home Folder option: click Connect, select a drive (ex. H: )and type file://127.0.0.1/users/%25username%25

                  
Creating a Home folder is very useful to keep all the documents on the Server. Also, the folders can have quotas placed on them, to prevent your users from doing storing massive amounts of junk on your server. Great way to prevent loss of data on work stations and manage speed up the work stations by keeping them more free of user documents.
