We're planning out our migration from Novell to AD, and one of the things
we're looking at is home directories.  Is it best to create them through AD
(the Profile tab), or through Group Policy?

RE: Creating home directories - Best method?

2011-04-05 Thread Brian Desmond 
AD doesn't create home folders...

The thing in ADUC is a feature of the MMC tab. Anyone arbitrarily populating 
the homeDirectory attribute in AD isn't going to trigger a magic folder 
creation.

This is the easiest approach imo.

It's all automated, folder is created, correct permissions are set etc.

Not a direct answer to your question, but this is my favorite KB article of all

It will work exactly the same, given the sole exception that ADUC/RSAT provide 
additional parameter validation that PowerShell/ADSI do not.

You can do that with the AD PowerShell module (and with ADSI in earlier 
versions of PS, and with dsmod.exe in cmd.exe as far as that is concerned).

I thought the question was about the best way to CREATE the home directory. Not 
to assign it. :-)

It should be fairly easy to script. Although, I'm starting to prefer
RichCopy over RoboCopy. I haven't had a chance to compare the latest version
of RoboCopy to RichCopy, but the multithreading in RichCopy has proved to be
much faster than previous versions of RoboCopy.

Have fun with that.  I did that same migration here a year ago or so.  I wrote 
a few scripts to remove the Novell client, iPrint, Zenworks, Patchlink, etc, as 
part of the migration.  I tried the Quest NDS migration tools and they were a 
complete bust.  So many issues that we abandoned the tools.  Waste of $$.  We 
used AD to create the home directories.  
 
The scripts are yours if you want them, send me a message off-line.
 
By the way robocopy is a great tool for the data copy portion of this sort of 
project.

Not a direct answer to your question, but this is my favorite KB article of all

of how to assign them this will let the users auto create them on first login.
