    Hi all,

    I've got something thats bugging me and googling isnt helping at the moment. I'm playing around with ds commands.

    I've typed in the below but where I've specified the %username% variable it just dumps it into the already present administrator folder. I dont think its a NTFS issue as I've opened those up wide.

    dsquery user "ou=ict,ou=scrivnet users,dc=scrivnet,dc=co,dc=uk" | dsmod user -hmdir \\server\shares\%USERNAME% - hmdrv Z:\

    then it goes through all the users and says its suceeded but all the users are now pointing straight into the administrator folder.

    Is there something I'm doing wrong or does -hmdir not work that way?

    I don't think that you can modify the file system with DSMOD. I presume you are trying to create user folders using the %Username% token. DSMOD is for modifying existing *AD* objects.

    Ah i see thanks for that, i kinda assumed it would work if i put a variable in and as it didnt throw up any funky error messages. I thought I might just have been out a bit. Its proberbly why I couldnt find any documentation on it. :biggrin
