Hi, Thanks for your post. You need to use ABE to hide folders from users that you dont want to see. Access-based enumeration (ABE) displays only the files and folders that a user has permissions to access. If a user does not have Read permissions for a folder, Windows hides the folder from the users view. For more detailed information, please refer to the following articles: Enable Access-Based Enumeration on a Namespace http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759150.aspx How to implement Windows Server 2003 Access-based Enumeration in a DFS environment http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;907458 Best Regards, AidenAiden Cao TechNet Community Support

Hi, Following on from creation of hidden home and profile folders, i'm looking to present those as part of a DFS namespace, with replication occuring on a backup DC/DNS/File Server box. How would i go about setting it up if i had a \\domain.net root and the real folders were home$ and profile$, i'm a bit sketchy on some of the terminology and how it specifically applies to stuff like hidden home folders and profile shares.
