Unable to set hidden home folder path

Hi guys,

maybe someone can help in the following Problem we have. Right now we are still using some 2003 Server for user account Administration. Now we have Setup a new 2008R2 Server for the administration team and have the following issue.

Our user homefolders are located on a hidden share. E.g.: \\server1\userhomes$\username

The home Folder path within AD account is set to: \\server1\username

If the admin team is moving any homefolder for any reason, they have to adapt the home Folder path within the ad account to e.g.: \\server2\username

On Server 2003 you will get an error message, that the path could not be found, but the new home Folder path will be taken over from the MMC (there is just an OK button). If you are doing the same procedure on the new 2008 Server, you also get the same error message, that the path could not be found. But after click on OK, no changes will be written to the AD object. :(

Which means: On 2008 i'm unable to set a hidden home Folder path, if i skip the hidden share Name (userhomes$) in the home Folder path.

Funny, this is still working on Server 2003.

Any ideas? :)

Thanks in advance. Niggoh
