When a user is created in AD and the users home folder is set to \\server\users\user, does AD automatically give the user full control of that folder? How does it know to make it the owner?
I assume you are talking about how this works in the Small Business Server 2003 environment when you generate a user account using the Create User wizard.
It generates the folder using the user's username as the name of the folder and uses the same variable to set the permissions on the folder.
It knows because it is sort of smart that way: it can hold both the name of the user (to name the folder) and the identity (SID) of the user (to set the permissions on the folder Access Control List).
