Chance Chance Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-10-17 Posts: 12 Loc: Almere, The Netherlands	Thanks, that worked perfectly However I am left with one really weird problem I'd like to present. I'll explain it on example, let's say we wanna create the user "Jack Schitt" and his login name will be "jschitt" If you use kix to set the user in AD and use these path's (keep in mind we're not evaluating the strings, just plain as they are) HomeShare: \\server\profiles$\%username% ProfilePath: \\server\profiles$\%username%\My Profile Now we are not actually creating the folders ourselves. When the user logs in for the first time, the folders will be automatically created. And the rights are automatically set. The only problem with that is that Jack Schitt is the owner and sole user who has rights to those folders not even administrator has rights. Now to step back to where u create the user, now this time when your script has created the user and there are no folders yet. Goto the user properties in the AD, in the homeshare remove a % in %username% and the add the % again, press APPLY and you wll see that AD has created the folders with perfect rights on them Administrator as owner and the user Jack Schitt as user will All rights except "Full Access" I don't know why this is but I'd love to find out. _________________________ can not join #Real_Life (invite only)

I suggest that you post to one of the Micorosft newsgroups to see what kind of answer you get. We have always handle home directory creation as a separate process by different people than created the account. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Chance Chance Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-10-17 Posts: 12 Loc: Almere, The Netherlands	Seems like the newsgroups were no real succes either, but in any case I want to thank everyone in this tread who has helped and provided tips and solutions to my questions, everything works almost perfectly as I wanted, teachers now have 3 programs made with kix/kixforms, 1. a Reset Password dialog box, 2. a Create User dialog box and 3. a Add user rights (teacher/student/concierge) to an existing user (each gets different drives mapped). And their happy as can be. I'm officially throwing in the towel for now on the folder rights thing. But so far everything seems to works perfect eventho I as admin can't open/view/edit their folders (can set rights if I need to tho). But thanks all of you for your great support in this _________________________ can not join #Real_Life (invite only)
