Hi guys

Can someone please put me out of my misery, and save me from spending another
day or so wasting my time trying to find the answer.

I just took delivery of new server with SBS 2003. Another company installed
it for us.

They set it up so that when you create a new user it automatically sets up a
user folder in "c:\Users Shared Folders"

I do not want that to happen there. I NEED it to happen in the D directory.

I have read about moving existing folders etc etc. But I dont need to do that
cause I have yet to set up the users, but will be shortly. All I want to do
is to change where the "Users Shared Folders" get set up, so that it sets it
up on my d drive and not the c drive.

I would have phoned the company who set it up but they are now on holiday
till after New Year. I need to have this up and running by then or else....!!!
!!!

Please tell me how to change the default setting.

Thanks in advance

G

The User Shared Folder is created by default when SBS 2003 is installed.

The procedure to move it is in here:

Moving Data Folders for Windows Small Business Server 2003

You note the permissions on the User Shared Folder, unshare it, move it to
the D: drive, share it, recreate the share permissions and then delete it
from the C: drive. (Follow the detailed procedure in the document above).
