2 Questions about new SBS user accounts

I have 2 questions about SBS user accounts.
I am installing SBS for a school. They want to have Folder Redirection, but they want the Student Folder Redirection to be on a different Drive than the staff. How would I configure this?

I also want to create user accounts for the students without email addresses. How do I configure this?

I would appreciate your insights,
Thanks

Before I start I need to stress that SBS has a limit of 75 users. Each student is counted as one user, regardless their logon IDs. Are you looking after a "small" school?

I would recommend you created two containers in User Folder (ADUC) one called Staff and the other called Student. Apply different Group Policy to redirect home folder to different location, so you don't need to do this everytime you create a new user.

I was advised that the 75 user limit had 2 conditions,
The first is 75 simultaneous users. You can have 150 user accounts if you wish, only not more than 75 at a time.
The second is 75 simultaneous computers.

Was I given bad advice?
