Hello!

Today, I would like to share with you information as quickly and easily as possible using Group Policy Preferences (GPP) technology (It is available from Windows Server 2008) to create and save custom personal folders on the server.

This process can be divided into several basic steps.

• Creating and configuring rights to the root folder in which user folders will be stored
• Creating a folder for the user
• Network disk mapping for users

')

Creating and assigning rights to a folder in which user files will be stored

First of all, we need to create a folder in which all user folders will be stored.
It requires the following security settings:

Sharing access :
Autentication User - Full Control

NTFS access:
SYSTEM = Full Control
CREATOR OWNER = Full Control
Domain Administrators = Full Control
Authenticaton Users = only these attributes Traverse folder; Create folder; Write attributes; Write extended attributes; Read permissions; Change permissions

The result should be as shown in the figures below.

Creating a custom folder

In order to create folders for users in the Users directory, we go to the tab
"User Configuration" - "Preferences -" Windows Settings "-" Folders "and in it we create the % Logonuser% folder as shown in the figure below.

Mounting a network drive for a user

Create a group policy for the user and in the section “User Configuration” - “Preferences” - “Windows Settings” - Drive Maps "we will create a new network drive and give it a name, for example HomeFolder
