Hello friends today i wanna discuss  some thing abt Home Folder . and How to create home folder
lets seee
This step-by-step article describes how to use the Active     Directory Users and Computers management console, the Computer Management     management console, a logon script, or the command line to assign a home folder     to a user.
Home folders and My Documents make it easier for an     administrator to back up user files and manage user accounts by collecting the     user's files in one location. If you assign a home folder to a user, you can     store the user's data in a central location on a server, and make backup and     recovery of data easier and more reliable. 
If no home folder is     assigned, the computer assigns the default local home folder to the user     account. The home folder can use the same location as the My Documents folder.     When you are using Windows 2003 Terminal Services, the user profile is the     default home folder. 
Assign a home folder to a domain user
Note: To specify a network path for the home folder, you must first     create the network share and set permissions that permit the user access. You     can do this with Shared Folders in Computer Management on the server computer.     
To assign a home folder to a domain user:      
- Click Start, point to     Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and     then click Active Directory Users and Computers. 
 - In the console tree, click Users.     
 - In the Details pane, right-click the user     account, and then click Properties.
 - In the Properties dialog box, click     Profile.
 - Under the Home folder, type the folder     information. To do this, follow these steps: 
- To assign a home folder on a network server, click     Connect, and then specify a drive letter. 
 - In the To box, type a path. This path can     be any one of the following types:      
 
Note In these examples, server is the name of the     file server housing the home folders, and      users is the shared folder.  - Click OK.
 
 Assign a home folder to a local user
To assign a home folder to a local user: 
- Click Start,  click Control Panel,     double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click     Computer Management. 
 - In the console tree, click Users in     Local Users and Groups. 
 - Click the user account. 
 - Click the Action menu, and then click     Properties.
 - Click the Profile tab, click     Connect, and then specify a drive letter. 
 - In the To box, type a path. This path can     be any of the following types:      
- Network path, for example: 
\\server\users\tester
 - You can substitute username      for the last subfolder in the path, for example:
\\server\users\username
Where server is       the name of the file server housing the home folders, and where       users is the shared folder.  
 - Click OK.
 
 Specify a home folder for a terminal server
In Windows Server 2003, you can specify a home folder for a     terminal server. Assign each user on a terminal server a unique home folder.     This makes sure that you store the program information separately for each user     in the multi-user environment.
Note: If you specify only the home folder for Windows Server 2003,     both Windows 2003 and Terminal Services use this home folder.
To     specify a home folder for a terminal server, use one of the following     procedures.
Domain user account
- Click Start, point to     Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and     then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
 - In the console tree, expand the domain node, and then click     the Users folder.
 - Double-click the user account. 
 - Click the Terminal Services     Profile tab.
 - If the Terminal Services home folder is on the local     server, click Local path, and then type the path of the     profile. 
Note If you do not specify the location path in the Terminal Service Home folder pane, the default local home folder is located at the following path: system drive\Documents and Settings\username
 - If the Terminal Services home folder is on a network share,     click Connect, select a drive to connect, and then type the     network path.
 - Click OK.
 
Local user account
- Click Start, point to     Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and     then click Computer Management.
 - In the console tree, click      Users in Local Users and Groups.
 - Double-click the user account. 
 - Click the Terminal Services     Profile tab.
 - If the Terminal Services home folder is on the local     server, click Local path, and then type the path of the     profile. 
Note If you do not specify the location path in the Terminal Service Home folder pane, the default local home folder is located at the following path: system drive\Documents and Settings\username
 - If the Terminal Services home folder is on a network share,     click Connect, select a drive to connect, and then type the     network path.
 - Click OK.
 
 Assign a home folder to a user from the command line 
You can use the 
net user command to assign a home folder to a user from the command line.     For example, at the command line, type the following command, and then press     ENTER:
 net user tester /homedir:\\server\tester$
This command assigns the tester$ hidden shared folder on the     server to the user Tester.
 Assign a home folder to a user by using a logon script 
You can automate user account creation and home folder assignment.     You can use the 
net user command to create local user accounts in configuration scripts.
Create a logon script
The following example creates a user named "tester". The user is     created with a comment, password expiration settings, home folder, and profile     path configured:
NET USER tester /add /comment:"Example Account for User"
/expires:never 
/homedir:\\Verma\%username%$ 
/profilepath:\\verma\profile
Assign a logon script to a profile
To assign a logon script to a profile, follow these steps:      
- Click Start, point to     Settings, and then click Control Panel.     
 - Double-click Administrative Tools, and     then double-click Computer Management.
 - In the console tree, click Local Users and     Groups, and then click Users. 
 - Click the user account, click Action, and     then click Properties.
 - Click Profile, and then type the file name     of the script in the Logon script box.
Note:  For local accounts, the logon script path is     %Systemroot%\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts. However, this folder is  not created if you perform a clean installation of Windows Server 2003.  If the logon script is stored in a     subfolder of the domain controller, type the following login script  path before     the logon script name:sysvol\domainname\scripts
 
Note: You can also use Group Policy to assign home folders. For     additional information about using Group Policy to assign home folders see the     "To change the path of a user's home directory" topic in the Windows 2003 help     files.
