Home Folder Naming

    I think I know this isn't possible, but just checking.

    When creating accounts on a Server for a new user, is it possible in the Profile Tab to create a Home Folder on the server with anything other than %username%. or individually naming them?

    We are setting up accounts soon using an ID number as the username, but the display name would be in the Format 'Joe Bloggs', and we would like the folders on the server to be in the same format aswell for easier identification as opposed to ID numbers. Or even better 'username-Display Name'

    Thanks

    Have you actually used AD before? As you sound like your pretty new at it. But yeah basicially you can name the home folder as you so wish under the profile tab in AD "profile path". You can use a custom script that will auto name the folder as you so wish automaticially when you create the AD account.

    Is it that obvious. :o

    We have a template, which we are going to copy to create the usernames, but I just wanted to change the home folder settings from %username% if it was possble. I have to do this for 400 username's and didn't want to find out afterwards that it was possible to get Display name used instead of Username. I'm sure it isn't.
