Problems creating Home Folders - W2003Server.

[VicRic]

Hi,

apparently there's a problem in Windows 2003 Server setting up Home Folders properly. See the following old link:

Trouble With Windows Server 2003 Home Folders
http://x220.win2ktest.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6136

I'm running Win2003Server-Standard SP1 and the reported problem still shows up on me.

Do you know whether SP2 includes a fix to the problem ?

or

do you know of any other step-by-step guideline to set up Home Folders properly ?

My requirements for proper Home Folders are (pretty obvious but worth stating):

- only the authenticated user should have RWX access to their Home Folder;
- any other user, except Administrator, should be unaware of the before-mentioned Home Folder, i.e. no Traversing nor RWX access;
- the Home Folders Share should not be visible to network browsers, or at best, have Read-Only access to the root of the folder but not inside the User's Home Folders.

Any feedback regarding this problem would be appreciated.

Thnx

Follow the guideline in this link :

How to Dynamically...

and then create the Home Folders.

p.s. these are the security settings that worked for me for the home folder.
