Script for subfolders for network homes on Windows SMB Share

[bezzoh]

Hi,

I’m after a script that will automatically create (but not overwrite any existing) /Documents /Downloads folders on network homes mounted on an SMB Share (Windows Server 2008).

This is because only the Library and Desktop folders seem to create by default at login but I want the Documents & Downloads folders created and present on the Users’ Dock.

I have had a go with the symlinks in folder redirection via Workgroup Manager and met with limited success, so I think the simplest solution if someone can help would be to simply deploy a logon script that checks and creates them.

I’ve done this for Windows users, but many of our staff wont use the Windows OS, so they are still complaining these folders arent there when others have them. I’m fed up of having the same conversation…

Any help, greatly appreciated. Cheers.
