hopefully, 'ls -ld' /profiles should have group set to something like
whatever groupmaps to "Domain Users" and that group also has 'w' write
privileges so that the user profile can be updated on server.

example...
# grep profiles /etc/samba/smb.conf
        path = /home/samba/profiles

# ls -ld /home/samba/profiles/
drwxrwxr-x  2 root dom_users 4096 Nov 11 14:47 /home/samba/profiles/

[root at srv1 postfix]# net groupmap list |grep "Domain Users"
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-513) ->
dom_users
