Also another disadvantage to using the %username% in usermanager
to automaticly create userfolders, is that usermanager sets the
security rights to the created folder so that only %username% can
access it and %username% is the folder owner.

These default security rights prevent even domain admins from
accessing these folders, preventing proper backups from being done
(of cource DA's can overwright these security settings).

As for map rooting, the basic rule of thumb that i have always
seen is this.

  • Win9xNET USE can only maproot to a share
  • Winnt
    NET USE Can only maproot to a share

    SUBST can map root to any subfolder of a share, but mappings do
    not show up under a NET USE command.

  • Win2k
    NET USE can map root to any subfolder of a share, and mappings do
    show up under a NET USE command.
