Hi Ganesh,

How can I incorporate this in the script for UDS Provisioning, which was supplied in the Windows Server 2008 Resource Kit?

I'm not a scripter, nor a programmer so I (and a few other people I presume) could use a little help in configuring that script.

The portion that needs adjustment is as follows:

------------------------------------------------

Sub Create_DFS_Namespace()

' =====================================================================================

' Create DFS namespace for %username% DFS folder and the user's data stores beneath it

Dim sUserDFSFolder

' Define the top-level folder for the user within the DFS namespace

sUserDFSFolder = sUserDFSNamespace & "\" & sUsername

' %USERNAME%\Documents

sCommand = """" & DFSUTIL & """ link add " & _

sUserDFSFolder & "\" & sUserDocsDFSFolder & _

" \\" & sUserDataServer & "\" & sUserDocsShareName & _

"\" & sUsername & "\" & sUserDocsPath

arr = Execute_Capture( sCommand, 10, True)

Log_Command sCommand, arr

------------------------------------------------------

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Have found that lowercase letters created by DFSUTIL (W2K8 - v6.0.6001.18000) for W2K3 R2 Domain based DFS user redirected folders (Desktop, Documents etc) also causes the "Plain" documents icon issues seen here http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=4222553&SiteID=17

These issues were resolved when the Documents, Desktop and Profile.v2 DFS folders were recreated with DFSCMD.
