I didn't want to redirect the &quot;My Documents&quot; directory because that would have filled up my server in about 15 minutes considering all of the junk, pictures, music, etc. that is in most people's &quot;My documents&quot; folders. &nbsp;I found a solution on my own. &nbsp;Please close this question.

I have set up some user directories in Windows 2003 by going into user properties in AD and clicking on the profile tab and typing in the directory. &nbsp;Windows 2003 then creates the directory under the home folder that I created.<br />
<br />
However, when the user is at his/her machine they don't have rights to create or save to the directory. &nbsp;I went into home and noticed the &quot;Everyone&quot; had rights to see the directory and on individual home directory, the user has full rights which should make them able to use the drives. &nbsp;Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Setting up Home Directories in Windows 2003

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
