Greetings,
Typically, the "Administrator" account(s) can connect to the administrative share (e.g. C$) of a volume. Simply connect to the administrative share and traverse into the %cifs.home_dir% and into whatever subdirectory you want to.
The question becomes more interesting if you want non-admins to be able to access user home directories not their own.

With all the discussion about setting up the home directories on the filer, I have a few questions...
On NOW, it says that if you set up home directories the only folders that a user will be able to see will be their own. Does this apply to administrator as well. Will the administrator be able to see and access all home directories? Currently we have set aside an area of the filer for home directories, but the whole company is not using them. So basically we are just mapping the home directory to a drive in User Manager for Domains. So my question is, if I start using cifs.home_dir, does anyone foresee any problems. I don't want to have a situation where my users can't access their data, right?
