I did, but they are linked to the LDAP attribute : Home Directory   That 
attribute leads directly to the location of the home directory on the 
server. In my case, i wrote \\servername\ohoude as Samba home path and 
\\servername\ohoude\.msprofile in samba profile path. It works because 
my home directory is on the LDAP master at /home/ohoude.  But what if i 
need to have my home directory on another server than the master ldap ?
