Recycle bin doesn't exist and corrupted

[rocknrollstar]

I am creating new user accounts and folders using a vba script. It's all working nicely, but...

 

If I login as a student, I immediately get the error that the recycle bin is corrupt on the shared folder (the home folder) and am asked if I want to empty it. Choosing yes or no makes no difference. Next login or even same session brings up the same error.

 

When I look in the shared folder, there is no recycle bin folder (even with hidden files shown). I am guessing that this is because I didn't create one, or does windows create one by itself?

 

The home folder is like this :

\\server\user.name$

 

Could it be a permission issue? I have granted SYSTEM and various other users permission to the share and folder itself.

 

Any pointers welcome. Thank you.

We have been dealing with this last week, if you are setting a home drive in the user account and mapping a drive to the same area with gpo or script then they must both be identically worded or you get that error

Thanks, but just for clarity would you be able to give me an example of what you mean? I'm not an expert in these things, unfortunately. Thank you.

It's the 'identically worded' bit I'm not sure on.

The wrong permissions to redirects of my docs and picture area can cause this error as well

Thank you. Where would I go to check these permissions on the redirect?

On your file server, navigate to Control Panel > Folder Options > View (tab).

 

Enable 'Show hidden files, folders and drives' and 'Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)'.

 

Open the user's Documents folder and search for 'recycle'. Delete all these and Windows will automatically re-create them.

 

This should cure your corrupt recycle bin message at logon. Repeat for other affected users, then disable the above settings.

Thanks Michael, will have a look later. I've also come across active user manager (AUM) which streamlines the user creation process some what.

Thanks.

I use it too, it's fab and makes creating hundreds of users easy.
