Creating Home Directories

Oh the frustration! Administration is one headache after another.

The problem is this. I have set up OD Master, DNS with FQDN, Windows Server as a PDC. I have created an accounts folder off the boot drive called "users001". I have created this as a mountable share drive and have successfully created 1 home directory in this folder.

Now, anytime I try to create a home directory for another user, i.e || WGM> Accounts> John Doe> Home> afp://testserver.com/user001> create home now (button) -- nothing happens, no home directory here, no home directory in the original "users" folder which resides on the boot drive, nada.

Also, the original user which has a home drive located in this folder cannot login using a macintosh. This user can only login using the windows machine.

If anyone has any quick-fix solutions, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks,
Crowe
