Hi,

I'm pretty new to server 2003 and I want to get the following working:

When I create a user, he/she has automatically a home directory and
this directory is shared under \\localhost\users\${user}

Is there an easy way to do this? I searched on google but I could not
find an easy way?

Thanks in advance!

Not quite sure I understand the question, but when creating a new user you
can user

\\localhost\user\%username% - this will create the path based upon the
username you just created. If you use a $ after the name, the share will
not be visible when browsing the network.

If you use either of these two formats:

\\localhost\user\%username%
\\localhost\user$\%username%

it seems to me that the share ("user" or "user$") must already exist,
otherwise the server would not know where to create the folder.

Also, the admin account used for creating the user accounts must be able to
create and permit folders in that share.
