Hi Walt,

As the Nations #1 NetApp Value Added Reseller (That means we have sold more NetApp Filers than anyone in the Nation), we have demo units we buy and assemble in our lab.  Once the units are six months old, we resell them.  They are certified as brand new, by NetApp, all licesnses are transferable and they're offered at HUGE discounts.

Let me know if you have any needs or questions.

Thanks.

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.
