Post User Batch question

[Guest Close Guest]

Hey guys,

I have Hyena setup to create a user directory for each new user. What I'm trying to create is a post batch file to create two sub directories under the users home dir (Email and Files). The users home directory is created just fine but I cannot seem to get the sub dirs in there. Can anyone help me with the syntax? I thought it would be as simple as:

md %1\outlook
md %1\files

Help? Thanks.

This should work. Put a PAUSE at the end of your batch file and see if you are getting any error messages when it tries to create the directory.

I'm assuming I should be seeing a DOS window pop then? I'm not even getting that. Win2k Pro here logged in as a Domain Admin.

Go to Tools->Settings->User and make sure you have the Show Batch File Command Windows box checked.

That helped a ton. Thanks man. Turns out that it didn't like the long file name "User Volume" even if I called it "Uservo~1" in the batch file. I changed it over to "Users" and it seemed pretty happy.

<span style="font-style: italic">md \\server\users$\%2\outlook
md \\server\users$\%2\files
echo y| cacls %1 /E /R "Domain Admins"
pause</span>

Thanks again. Have a good one.
