The administrator can create version folder for an end user. In this example, we just use the User Guid for the administrator himself.  You can also get the user’s guid some other ways. For example, the user’s guid is returned when you just create the user.


PS D:\> $login.User.UserGuid

Guid

PS D:\> $result = Add-GceVersionFolderForUser -FolderName "joe-home-folder" -UserGuid $login.User.UserGuid -LoginToken $login.Cookie -ServerUrl http://192.168.2.11
