home dir

when i create a user sometimes i forget to map their home
dir before they login for the first time. so i put in the
right path and drive letter.i have them logoff and log
back in again. my docs doesn't map. i can see the drive
under my computer as a network drive but i need my docs
to be mapped to that newtork drive.

when i don't forget to put in before they login, their my
docs is mapped. everything works great. i need it to work
because users go to diffent computers every day.

Why is that?
is there a way around it?

i am using windows server 2000

Why use home folders at all. In an AD domain environment, a group policy
for folder redirection is much better. You can redirect the local My
Documents folder to a network share.
