Group policy preferences 2008 for setting up drives and home directory
Hi does anyone have a really good walkthrough for using group policy 2008 to set up item targeting for different departmental drives and also allowing access to a users directory, (home directory)
Is there a clean way of doing this, at present they use login.scripts which i would like to do away with, our domain functional level is 2008 ,i have seen a few guides, in the background i am doing a robocopy from a 2003 server to 2012, and when this is completed i will set up the group policy preferences for 2008
Can i get some practical steps alongside a link, a link on its own is something I can really get myself, looking for someone who has carried this out lately?

Please note that the Home directory is not set via GPP. This part is done within the ADUC under the Profile tab.

yo_bee I'm pretty sure you're referring to login scripts with bat.files
I'm looking to change this, from what i have seen home directories or user folders to put it more accurately can be set by GPP in 2008 r2

If so I have not seen it. Here is a link that highlights what I am saying. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/816313/how-to-assign-a-home-folder-to-a-user
If you do have an example can you post it?

Above one from pber found it before as well
As mentioned it's user folders I'm really looking to get completed

I have to look at this when I have a computer, but it does look like a solution. Not really a setting in GPO, but a crafty way to leverage GPP.
Have you tried that article? Isn't that exactly what you are trying to do?
