getent gives different info

Hi, can somebody explain to me why Samba 4 getent returns different info 
compared to Samba 3.6.3?

If I run the command 'getent passwd student1' on the Samba 4 server I get:

HOME\student1:*:3000039:3000036::/home/HOME/student1:/bin/bash

But the same command on a Samba 3.6.3 client gives:

student1:*:3000039:3000036::/home2/students/7a/student1:/bin/bash

I understand the addition of the domain at the start of the Samba 4 info 
line, but why does it return a different (and incorrect) home directory? 
All the info returned by Samba 3.6.3 is correct.

Rowland
