Proper Permissions For \\NetworkShare\ Users\

233 New Member
We have a GPO configured to redirect users' documents folder to \\NetworkShare\ Users\%Username %. If the folder exists for the user, everything works as expected. The issue I run into is when we create a new user, as an admin I have to manually create the user's folder. Are there specific permissions that need to be applied to \\NetworkShare\ Users\%Username %, or does this have to be a two step process of creating the user's directory, and then have the user log in so the GPO redirects their documents folder?

Does the user have the right to create the directory himself?
if the answer is YES, put an MKDIR in the logon script..

What rights does %user% have on i.e.
\\NetworkShare\ Users\%OtherUse rname% ??

No, as an admin, I have to manually create the directory first. Also, keep in mind that my reference of %username% is as an Windows environmental variable, not a casual reference such as %user% or %OtherUsername% .

When i was talking about '%user%' or '%OtherUsername %' i did mean environment variables too.

I dont see anything 'uncasual' or 'casual' to something like %user% or %OtherUsername%

Hello group! I'm having a problem and I hope some of you may be able to point me in the right direction. I inherited a web site using php, running on Windows 2000 & IIS. The site was developed by a consulting firm about a year before I came on board, the consultant has since gone out of business. Overall, I've never had a problem with the site and have been able to figure out nearly everything they configured on it.

Many thanks to all who replied to my previous post regaring proper installation of phpMyAdmin on unix/apache. Okay, I thought I had correctly followed all the steps to password-secure the directory where I installed phpMyAdmin on my RedHat9 machine running apache, but I must be missing something: 1. Create a directory in /var/www/html to place the files. 2. Load the files. 3. Check the index.php and make sure it pretty much all works...

I'm having trouble with security on an A97 database. First, yes I've read the white paper several times, followed all the directions, and got security established correctly (or so I thought). There are two problems, however. One just occurred in the past couple of days. I added a new feature to a form, which is a button that pops up a new form showing some summary data. The popup form has a query as its recordsource, and the run...

Greetings all! I am aiming to set up simple permissions for users on a database here at work, to the effect that certain users should be restricted from opening certain forms and reports. I tried setting up groups and permissions, but found that users were still able to open forms I had thought would have been restricted. I then tried the security wizard, and found that TOO restrictive, especially if I find another job and am not...

Hello, In one of my asp.net applications I test the existence of a file, like so: File.Exists(Server.MapPath("/path/file.jpg"))); This was failing, even though the path returned by Server.MapPath was clearly present. After some debugging, I discovered that the the asp.net account didn't have permission to execute File.Exists. Apparently File.Exists simply returns "false" instead of throwing an exception if it doesn't have the...

Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the right group for this query, so please forgive me if I am wrong. My problem is that most users I distribute my software to cannot install it on their systems due to not having the correct administrator rights.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
