Unfortunately, this isn't it. I am unable to change the home directory
location on the windows side in active directory. The MAC side seems to be
fine, pointing where ever the AD tells it to. The problem is, in Active
Directory Users and Computers, I am unable to make the change to point to
the XServe.
