Simple file share question

I need help with Windows NT. I have users home directories set up in AD on
a w2k server. \\server\home\%username%

I have \\server\home shared.

The windows 2000 clients can map drives directly to their home folders.
\\server\home\%username%.

The NT clients will only map to the share. \\server\home.
When they try to map to \\server\home\%username%, it gives error "network
name not found" I can connect to the \\server\home share, and navigate to
the %username% folder, but I don't want it to work like that. Do I have to
share each individual users folder, or is there a better solution?

Thanks,
Mike
