Our user accounts currently map the "Home Folder" as H: drive to their shared
server-based folder.
The users' "My Documents" are then mapped to the H:\ drive.
We have a DFS namespace installed for three sites.
We created shortcuts using the UNC to the DFS shared folders and that seems
to work just fine.
1. How does one map the "Home Folder" for a user account in Active Directory
to a DFS share folder?
2. How does one map the "My Documents" folder for a user to a DFS share
folder?
3. How does one set the defualt folders for MS Office to use their user
folder in DFS?
The goal is to have mobile users mapped to the DFS to allow access to files
at all three sites, eliminating the latency and badwidth usage when accessing
the files over the WAN. We want to maintain the methods they currently use
(My Documents, etc.).
