Hello,<br />
<br />
If you want to map them to a home directory, then create a folder on a server called &quot;users&quot;. &nbsp;From within Active Directory, modify the user's profile settings to point to:<br />
<br />
\\server\users\%username% &nbsp; (Actually use the %username% place-holder)<br />

The user will have a network share mapped under a drive letter of your choice, upon the next time they log in to the domain. &nbsp;<br />

Adjust permissions so that no one else can browse to another user's share, or use access based enumeration.<br />

Hello,

If you want to map them to a home directory, then create a folder on a server called "users".  From within Active Directory, modify the user's profile settings to point to:

\\server\users\%username%   (Actually use the %username% place-holder)

The user will have a network share mapped under a drive letter of your choice, upon the next time they log in to the domain.  

Adjust permissions so that no one else can browse to another user's share, or use access based enumeration.
