Broken "Add User" wizard ....

Anyone:

When I try to use the Add User wizard, I get a spiffy
little dialog box that says (and I quote):

"The home folder you specified does not exist"

When I hit OK, the lesson is over. How do I fix this?


Also: is it just my profound ignorance, or could this site
use a vastly improved search function? I can't seem to
find useful stuff here, and I'm sure my question above has
been asked a dozen times already.

Thanks for any help you can offer, please send the bill to
bill.

Mr. Fong:

Thanks, that seems to have worked. However, it also seems
extremely manual - shouldn't this have been repaired in
SBS Service Pack 1?

I asked him, and he said he indeed might have done that...I restored it, and
now the wizard works like it once did ;-)

Thanks to Ray and Steve!
