SYMPTOMS
When you run User manager on a computer running Windows NT and create a new user account with the Profile Local Path specifying %USERNAME% (where is NTFS formatted), the directory that is created matches the username and the permissions are set so that only the specified user can access the directory.

When you run Windows NT Server Tools User Manager for Domains on a computer running Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups and create a new user account with the Profile Local Path specifying %USERNAME% (where is NTFS formatted), the directory that is created has the permissions set so that everyone has access to the user's directory.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server Tools. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, create new users from a computer running Windows NT Workstation or Server in the domain.

You can still use Windows NT Server Tools to administer existing users.
