Users Home Folders

Hi all, what’s the best way to set-up users home folders on a server
(windows2003), i want all the users to only access their own
folders/files. Is there a definite Microsoft way to do this or do all
admins have a different approach to file/folder security?
I know I need to share a folder on a server and give everyone full
control and then use NTFS to restrict access (is this the best way?)
what exact NTFS permissions should I use?

I know these questions may have been asked before but I am pretty new to
all this ....

Thanks for your understanding and patience
steve

Generally it is done by creating a Users folder and within the users folder
each user has a folder named after them or their login name.
I would suggest removing the "everyone" full control and replacing it with
domain users or authenticated users. Then give the specific user full
control in the NTFS permissions.

You can follow up by using a test machine setup, before actually using
it in the "real world". All it takes is to leave out one simple step
to give you unintended results, and practicing on a test machine(s)
will ensure you know what you are doing.
