The goal is to avoid using User Manager to create the user directory and map the "home" drive. The reason is because Microsoft cannot do subroot mapping. As such the user's h: drive is "\\fileserver\usershare" and then they have to browse to their stuff(%username%). That sucks.

What I want is the home drive mapped directly to their stuff. Obviosly this means individual shares (hidden of course) for each user. I've got over 2000 users across 20 or so file servers and I am not about to create the shares manually.

Enter Kixtart:
What I've done is use kixtart to map the h:drive to "\\fileserver\userid$". If the share doesn't exist it maps h: to "\\fileserver\usershare", creates the "userid" subfolder, uses the SUService to share the folder as "userid$" and set permissions. It then uses the SUService again to set the local permissions. Finally it disconnects h: and reconnects h: to "\\filesvr\userid$".

This process works great under NT but I'd like to get the same functionality with Win9x clients.

So far I'm stumped...
