10 Setting up the users directory

To create a users directory on the server, go to the base c:, create a new folder called UserDir.

Next the folder has to be shared with all the users. Right click the folder and choose properties, click the sharing tab, and click share.

Pick which users and/or groups to share with, add if necessary.

Next i had to edit the user profiles to map to their own
directory in usersdir.

Open up Active Directory Users and Computers, Start > Administrative tools > Active Directory Users and Computers. Find one of the users, right click and go to properties.

Under the profile tab in the home folder section select the connect option and select a drive letter and then fill out \\leighdc\usersdir\username.  When you click apply the button the word username automatically turns into the name of the user who's properties you are changing.

When all is said and done, in the usersdir appears a folder for each user that will appear to them as a hard drive.

To direct the my documents folder to the users home directory, go back into the group policy manager, start > administrative tools > group policy manager. edit the policy for each OU. Navigate to documents under user configuration, and go into its properties.

You can choose to direct the documents folder to the users home directory which i created previously.

Once the OK button is pressed the my documents folder will be on the users H:.
