Re: creating Home Directories for AD clients

Hi there,

With our "Golden Triangle" set up we set the users home directory in
Active Directory (which gives an error about not being able to
pre-create the home directory {this is because we purposefully DIDN'T
give the write privileges on the home folder share as Active Directory
incorrectly creates the folder permissions and buggers everything up})
then we go onto the xServe storing the home folders and use the
command line tool "createhomedir" which will run through Active
Directory read all the user home directory locations and make the
folders for us with the correct initial settings we just have to add
any extra ACE/ACL we need on the end in Server Manager:
