Create An AD User Profile

active-directoryprofile

I am new to server management. I have a set of AD users. I can log on as each user, (their name is in the start menu), but they always each get the same profile (shared My Documents (H:/) etc).

What steps are required to give each user their own My Documents / Favourites etc, that they can access on any networked computer? There are about 50-100 users.

In Active Directory Users and Groups, the profile tab of each user is empty.

Thanks

It sounds like you may have folder redirection in place via group policy.

I would check your group policies and run an RSOP (Resultant Set of Policy) against a machine and/or user account to see which policies are getting applied.
