[Samba] moving roaming profiles from 1 server to another

[Alex Sharaz]

hi all

I'm trying to move a roaming profile directory structure from 1 server to 
another

Server 1 - old server to be phased out
Server 2 new server

At moment, user home directories are on server 2 along with various 
applications
Server 1 has an ldap database, servies the printing and stores the roaming 
profiles

The idea is to phase everything onto Server 2

Looking at my samba book, the smb.conf entry logon 
path=<backslash><backslash>%L<backslash>profiles<backslash>%u
is a UNC that is relative to the profiles share.

Would a simple way of moving the storage of the roaming profiles be to 
create a profiles share on server 2 and then replace %L in the above 
statement on server 1 to be the hostname of Server 2

... or do I have to set up an nfs mount from server 1 to server 2 that 
points to the appropriate directory and use that?

BTW Samba 2.2.8a

TIA
Alex
