Over the years my home directories on my 2003 network have been messed up. Today I did a complete reinstall of 2003 sever and in my AD i have the home directory pointing to a 2003 file sever, yet this directory is inaccessible unless i share it, therefore I have allowed authenticated users with full permissions, problem is users when in their home directory get level up and see the list off everyone elses home directory and get into these directories and view these personal files.

I would like the home directory mapped to Z drive and from there only have a user able to read write and create within their personal Z drive without being able to get out of it and view other users personal directories I think all the attributes and permissions are now messed. Anyone here know what settings I can use to fix this?

Thanks
 
For Users: \\server\homedirectory$ share permissions everyone full control.

effective NTFS permissions:

read
create folders
create files
read extended
read attributes
list folders
traverse folders

In ADUC, users properties, profile tab, tick Connect and use the dropdown to choose your drive letter then put the path in TO:

\\server\homedirectory$\%username%
