SYMPTOMS
========
When you select multiple users in User Manager for Domains on Terminal Server
and select Properties/Profile/Terminal Server Home Directory/ Connect X: to
\\SERVERNAME\SHARE\%USERNAME%, after you click OK, the user's home directories
are created with incorrect permissions. The user's home directories will have
Everyone - Full Control and System - Full Control.
CAUSE
=====
An administrator currently must manually change permissions on user's home
directories created this way. This problem only appears when multiple users are
selected, not when selecting an individual user.
RESOLUTION

correctly. The user's home directories will have Administrators - Special
Access, System - Full Control, and %username% - Full Control. To resolve this
problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal
Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in
