Is there a way, using a batch file, to create a script that creates the home directory on the server of a particular user if one does not exist?(ie: newuser logs in for first time and a his home directory is created on the server that ran from the login script)

We can path a directory that exists, and set the default directory based on whatever login name but we cannot create a directory that does not exist on the server.

This may seem trivial and I apologize, I am a newbie to logon scripts(and the sites I have gone to about help state everything I need to know but this.. which either this is not possible or it is so trivial that I am seriously going to hurt myself once I find the answer)

You cant do that from batch file unless that user has write-access to the folder above his home. Here this kind of access would be granted to supervisors only. You can however create homes through user manager or batch files. I posted one a few days ago. I'll put up a link as soon as I find it.
