4. Create the user directories under the home-directory search path, making sure that the home
directory names match the pattern that was specified when the home directory share was
created.
md administrator
dir
Remember that one share can service all of the home directories that match the specified pattern.
Volume in drive Z is vol1
Volume Serial Number is 8000-0402
Directory of Z:\
07/08/2011 01:26 PM <DIR> .
07/08/2011 01:26 PM <DIR> ..
07/08/2011 01:26 PM <DIR> administrator
5. Use the Notepad application to create a simple text file called adminfile.txt so that there is
something in the home directory.
dir administrator
Volume in drive Z is vol1
Volume Serial Number is 8000-0402
Directory of Z:\administrator
07/08/2011 01:26 PM <DIR> .
