    In WGM, Windows tab, path field; how come I can’t use “%username%” to specify shortname? Is there a variable with some other syntax that will work?

    If not, will I really have to type every user’s shortname in one at a time? On the afp homedir (Home tab), you can specify the path for multiple records and WGM will propegate the shortnames for you.

    OK, so it does work. When you select multiple users, fields in the Windows tab will self-propagate the username. Duh, you just have to remember to include the trailing back slash. Like so:

    User Profile Path: C:\Documents and Settings\
    Path: \\server\users\class\

    After you hit Apply, individual records look like:

    User Profile Path: C:\Documents and Settings\username
    Path: \\server\users\class\username
