Note that SBS 2003 questions are best asked in
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs - SBS is its own beastie and does a lot
of things its own way, particularly in the sense that nearly everything has
a wizard associated with it.

I don't know as I don't use the add user wizard and I set up my users'
folders manually - sorry. Again, the SBS folks will likely have a better
answer for you.

Right, because you're mapping to the share, not to the subfolders. That
said, they shouldn't be able to *access* the other users' subfolders....are
they able to?

Just like that -
net use h: \\server\share\folder /persistent:no
(I like to use the /persistent:no switch for all drive mappings)
Although I'd prefer to a) make shares hidden by using a dollar sign at the
end of the share name, and b) set the user's home directory path in their
ADUC properties as h: --> \\server\users$\username
Then in the login script, if you wish, you could use
net use h: /home /persistent:no

Sorry, no email replies. Ask in a group, read the answers in the group. That
way, everyone can participate, benefit, and you won't be asking people to
possibly duplicate the efforts of others.
In addition, note that posting your valid e-mail address in a newsgroup
post, or in your news account settings, is a surefire way to get spam and
SWEN and other viruses sent to you....see
http://www.mailmsg.com/SPAM_munging.htm for help in the future, but note
that now that your address is out there, there's not much you can do about
it.
