Setting Up the Scripting Environment
You now need to grant the HelpDesk group the permissions it needs to successfully run the script. After you customize HomeFolderPerms.asp, place the script and StyleSheet.css in a folder on a DC. Restrict folder access by granting the HelpDesk group only Read permission to the folder.
On the DC containing your user accounts, create a virtual directory in IIS. Point the virtual directory to the physical directory that contains the script and configure the virtual directory for the access permissions of Read and Run scripts. Then, go to Virtual Directories Properties and select the Directory Security tab. Select Integrated Windows authentication only and clear the Anonymous check box. If the DC contains home directories, grant the HelpDesk group all NTFS permissions except Full Control to the parent directory of your home directories.
Create a hidden share named xdrive$, where x is the drive containing your home directories. For example, if your home directories are on the E drive, you can create a hidden share named edrive$. Another option is to assign a more generic name to the hidden share, such as Users$. That way, if you need to move your home directories to another drive, all you need to do is reassign the share to the new drive. If you take this approach, you must modify the script. Instead of pointing the sParentPath variable to the sDriveLetter variable and the drive$ string, point it to the Users$ string. . . .
