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.

Subject: questions regarding setting up cifs.home_dir
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?
