SYMPTOMS
When using the Administrative Wizard under Windows NT Server 4.0, the Add User Accounts option creates a User's Home Directory. The directory is created with the Everyone group having Full Control rights. It should be created with only the Owner having Full Control permissions.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, do either of the following:
 * Use User Manager for Domains to create the User's Home Directory; it will give the directory the correct permissions, and the user will have Full Control.

-or-


 * After creating the directory with the Administrative Wizard, use Explorer to modify the permissions.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
