I'm having a problem with allocating user home dirs, when ever I connect to a user home dir using \\ServerName\Users\%username% The drive letter (U) maps to \\ServerName\Users and from there I can see all of the users home directories that exist on the server (about 850 of them) and from there the user has to find his/her own dir. How Do I Map to \\ServerName\Users\%username% rather then the dir below it?

Thanks in Advance

You can only map to a share rather than individual directories within a share, which is why you see each directory idividually (I guess you have the share on \\servername\users. To get round this you could share each user directory individually, though this is a real fiddle and increases the cost of administration, or you can use the SUBST command in a login script to map a new drive from the general user share.
