Users Directory / H: Drive / P: Drive (Public) / Template Directory

H: Drive
Map User’s To Data

Create a Data file in the C Drive, create separate folders for the OU’s eg. users_accounts / users_it

Go to active directory and select and OU, select a user and right click properties

We can see all the tabs available for us now, select profile we want to create a “Home Folder” and connect it to a H: drive

the path we want to use is \\SERVER1\Data\users_warehouse\%username% so if anyone logs in with under the warehouse group their H: drive will automatically map under their username. It will find their username changing %username% to eg. bpacker

We also want to update our networkmap script so that the drive is visable for the user! So browse to \\server1\netlogon and look for our login script! edit it so it reads net use h:\\Server1\Data

Now we can log into our user profile and see our H drive is mapped

If we go back to our server we can now see the user’s logged in and the profile folder has been made for him/her

Lets create a test document in the folder on the client machine

And back to the server to make sure

P: Drive

Create a Public Drive folder

Using our netlogon script for mapping network drives we can add the Public Drive, so edit the script to make it look like net use p: \\SERVER1\Public

And on our public machine we should see the public drive with the mapped letter P

Template Directory

Same principles as before

Make a folder called Templates

Change our netlogon scrips to include

net use t: \\Server1\Templates

And we can now see the Templates folder

The templates folder will be read only so we have to go and change the sharing settings on the folder. Go onto the Server and select the templates folder, right click and hit share with specific people, add everyone, but change their permission level to READ!
