I'm looking for help to get started on server scripts to create users and
their work folders. We have all of our student data in an Access database
so I'm able to create queries and export data in whatever formats I may
need.

I want to select students and then create Windows Server 2003 user accounts
for them. I want to create a folder for them in the "Students Work" folder
so it can be accessed from a mounted volume on a Mac. Otherwise the
students folder would normally be created in the Users Folder. I want to
give them rights to their personal folder while excluding other students. I
want the students to be a member of the Students security group.

How would you do it? What would the export data from Access look like?
What would the script look like? Please note that in a few months we'll
want to delete some of these accounts and create new accounts for new
students where they don't already have an account.

Thanks for your suggestions.
