Adding home directories to each user in script

Ok, looking for suggestions on ways to add the functionality of creating home directories to a script I have for creating users.  Here is the current script i have:


******************************************************************
' UserSpreadsheet .vbs
' Sample VBScript to create User accounts from a spreadsheet
' Author Guy Thomas http://computerperformance.co.uk/
' Version 4.6 - June 2005
' ------------------------------------------------------'
Option Explicit
Dim objRootLDAP, objContainer, objUser, objShell
Dim objExcel, objSpread, intRow
Dim strUser, strOU, strSheet, i
Dim strCN, strSam, strFirst, strLast, strPWD, strDesc, StrDis

' -------------------------------------------------------------'
' Important change OU= and strSheet to reflect your domain
' -------------------------------------------------------------'

strOU = "OU=Students, OU=AEC, OU=03 Schools," ' Note the comma
strSheet = "c:\creating users\aec\aectemp.xml"

' Bind to Active Directory, Users container.
Set objRootLDAP = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")
Set objContainer = GetObject("LDAP://" & strOU & _
objRootLDAP.Get("defaultNamingContext"))

' Open the Excel spreadsheet
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objSpread = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strSheet)
intRow = 3 'Row 1 often contains headings

' Here is the 'DO...Loop' that cycles through the cells
' Note intRow, x must correspond to the column in strSheet
Do Until objExcel.Cells(intRow,1).Value = ""
   strSam = Trim(objExcel.Cells(intRow, 1).Value)
   strCN = Trim(objExcel.Cells(intRow, 1).Value)
   strFirst = Trim(objExcel.Cells(intRow, 2).Value)
   strLast = Trim(objExcel.Cells(intRow, 3).Value)
   strPWD = Trim(objExcel.Cells(intRow, 4).Value)
   strDesc = Trim(objExcel.cells(intRow, 5).value)
   strDis = Trim(objExcel.cells(intRow, 6).value)

   ' Build the actual User from data in strSheet.
   Set objUser = objContainer.Create("User", "cn=" & strCN)
   objUser.sAMAccountName = strSam
   objUser.givenName = strFirst
   objUser.sn = strLast
   objUser.Put "DisplayName", strDis
   objUser.SetInfo

   ' Separate section to enable account with its password
   objUser.userAccountControl = 512
   objUser.ChangePassword "", strPWD
   objUser.SetInfo

intRow = intRow + 1
i = i + 1
Loop
objExcel.Quit


WScript.Echo "Finished Creating Users.  " & i & " Users created!"
WScript.Quit

' End of Sample UserSpreadsheet VBScript.
