Home Folder Issues

I am having a problem creating the home directories via the home folder path
in the user profile.

Each time I give the path: Example \\servername\folder name\user

It tells me that the "folder was not created because I do not have create
access on the server" It then goes on to say that it has updated the user
account with the new home folder value but i must create the folder manually
after obtaining required access rights.

I am logged on as the administrator and am in the Domain Admin, Enterprise
Admin groups as well. I am using 2003 server.

I used to be able to do this all the time using 2000 server and now it has
the above message in 2003? Am I missing something? Please help!

Regards,

Tim
 
Here is what I usually do and it works great:



- Create a HIDDEN SHARE on file server \\SRV\SHARE$ with the
following permissions:

- Share permissions:

o Authenticated Users = Full Control

- NTFS permissions:

o Creator/Owner = Full Control (Subfolders and Files)

o System = Full Control (This folder, Subfolders and Files)

o User Groups = "List Folder/Read Data" & "Create Folders/Append
Data" (This Folder Only)

o Administrators = None

o Everyone = None

- Set Profile path in users properties: \\SRV\SHARE$\%USERNAME%
