The "homes" folder in Samba4?

[Ricky Nance]

I think that is by design, if you look around there are some vb scripts
that will create the user and homedir and set the permissions, but if you
create the user in AD management, their home dir doesn't get created until
you modify the user (you can highlight several users and do them all at
once). When AD Management creates the home dir, it gets the correct
permissions.
