How do I change the default shared user folder location that is used in the user swetup wizard in SBS 2003?

Hi,

Recently I moved teh Shared Users Folder from my C: on an SBS2k3 R2 server to a secondary data drive. Since doing so, every time I use the wizard to setup a new user, it faults with the error that the user home folder could not be created due to the shared user folder not being located.

I can continue to keep the profile and then manually cerate the share to the users home folder but I would like to clean this up.

I did some investigting and on the review page (final step before actually creating the user profile) of the wizard, the users home folder is being created in \\Server\Users\ when actually the share name for the users shared folder is \\server\Users Shared Folder\

I have attempted to change teh share name for the folder however it does not allow me to.

Can this be changed in registry or somwhere else? or have I missed something?Start Free Trial
