Create Home Dirs

[Guest]

I want to use Hyena to create the Home Folders and assign permissions for new users... however I don't want to map the home folder to a drive letter... rather use a GPO to redirect them to the newly created home folder via My Home Folder.

Any ideas?

p.s.
I'm thinking i could initially map to H: ... just so it will create the home folder... then run a command/batch to turn put the Home Dir back to the Local path.

But I need help in putting that into a batch file? Any ideas?

Re: Create Home Dirs

I guess you could use Hyena's home directory templates for creating the home directory, then you can change them back to local path. To do that part you can select as many users as you like in the right window, then right-click and choose Properties. On the Profile tab, change the option back to Local Path, and then in the box beside it enter ~DEL. This is a safety feature to make sure you don't accidentally make this change on a bunch of users. When you click OK, all the selected users will be set to Local Path.

Any idea of the contents of the batch file to do this automatically?

If you can find a command line utility to make the change you can create a batch file to run it after Hyena creates the home directory.

They are stored in the registry, but you manage them under Tools->Settings->Home Dir.
