What is home directory:-

Feature of active directory services which used to provide centralized data storage management. This folder is automatically mapped & will be displayed in the Computer when a user login into the domain controller from any client & saves data in that mapped folder now logoff. The data will be automatically saved in that mapped folder & when user will login second time that data will be available to that user .To do this we have to perform these steps:-

2>    Now again open home folder & create another shared folder with user’s name.
