Server 2003: A home folder could not be created for this user.

Not quite JavaScript related but a Server 2003 error that may happen to some of my readers.

The wizard could not successfully configure this user account.  The following could not be completed:

  • A home folder could not be created for this user.
  • Quota information could not be set.

From: Home Folder at Microsoft Support

Folder Name Users Shared Folders
Share Name Users
Description Users Shared Folders
User/Group Full Control Change Read
Domain Admins Allow Allow Allow
Domain Users Allow Allow Allow
SBS Folder Operators Allow Allow Allow

By setting these permissions, I was able to then successfully create a user.  The server with this issue moved the “Users Shared Folders” to a partition with more space.
