Automate home directory for a new user

All, How can I automate the creation of a users home directory, when the
user is created in AD? I am not wanting to use the my documents folder
redirection, but rather still with standard drive mappings.

Thanks!

You have to script it in some way - easiest way is to use mkdir to
create directory and xcacls or cacls to set up permissions.

I have always just (right after creating the user) gone into his
properties, and to the profile tab and set the drive letter to map to \
\server\share\path\%username%

When you hit apply it will replace %username% with his actual name and
will create the directory.
