Hello everyone.
 
So, I come to you because I have a little problem when setting up my domain controller based on CentOS 6.5 and Samba 4.1.6.
 
Everything works well, except for one small detail, which in my case blocking me.
 
I
 would like to automatically generate the home directory of the user 
during the first connection (from Win or Linux), but the problem is that
 for some unknown reason, the variable substitution does not work in the
 smb.conf
 
I tested various alternatives for the user name, for example, but none works.
 
Here is my smb.conf
 

[global]

        workgroup = ADS

        realm = ADS.LOCAL

        netbios name = BOOS17

        server role = active directory domain controller

        dns forwarder = 172.16.130.7

        server services = rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, winbind, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate, dns, smb

        dcerpc endpoint servers = epmapper, wkssvc, rpcecho, samr, 
netlogon, lsarpc, spoolss, drsuapi, dssetup, unixinfo, browser, 
eventlog6, backupkey, dnsserver, winreg, srvsvc

        idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes

 

[netlogon]

        path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/ads.local/scripts

        read only = No

 

[sysvol]

        path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol

        read only = No

 

[home]

        comment = %U %USERNAME% %ACCOUNTNAME% %USERACCOUNT% %u Home Directory

        path = /home/ADS

        read only = No

 

[Global Share]

        comment = Global %D %DOMAIN% %DOMAINNAME% Share

        path = /home/globalshare
        valid users = User1

        read list = User1

        write list = User1

        read only = No

        guest ok = Yes

 
None of the variables used is replaced.
 
Here is the result of an example smbclient command:
 


# smbclient -L localhost  -U Administrator -c 'ls'

Enter Administrator's password:

Domain=[ADS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6]

 

        Sharename       Type      Comment

        ---------       ----      -------

        netlogon        Disk

        sysvol          Disk

        home            Disk      %U %USERNAME% %ACCOUNTNAME% %USERACCOUNT% %u Home Directory

        Global Share    Disk      Global %D %DOMAIN% %DOMAINNAME% Share

        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service

Domain=[ADS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6]

 

        Server               Comment

        ---------            -------

 

        Workgroup            Master

        ---------            -------

 
I dont really know where the problem is.
 
Someone would have an idea?
