Server 2003 Active Directory

compaqman · 05-10-2008, 01:50 AM

Ok, So I'm setting up a network at our church, and We have three XP Pro's and a Server 2003 Station and I have the user's setup right, BUT I need to know how to make Limited Accounts In the Active Directory for the users. and I need to know how to make THEIR Network drive show up in "My Computer" without setting up every account on every computer. like their home Directory(I guess i'm using the right words?) well I thank you for looking at this post and/or replying.

Our church can live without limited accounts but I know some "Kids" who would love to change settings

You have a few options on the Home drive... On my network i have 2 ways.. A few users have their H drive run as a part of their logon script and a few others have it hardcoded into their account. Under their account right click and go to properties then click on the profile tab. You can set a logon script there or you can under home folder say connect and click any drive and then give it the path to where you are saving their network drives. The way to give them limited accounts is make a domain admin group and only put people you want to have the access to change things into that group and put all other users into the domain users which has no access to do things like that. We control our network very strongly this way and i have done it many ways like this at all my previous jobs as well...
