This baffled me for a while too.  I eventually found a comment to a blog
  article that answered the question.  You have to add
  
    obey pam restrictions = yes
  
  to smb.conf
  
  Also, I wouldn't leave /home/MYDOM with 777 perms.

  Subject: [Samba] Home Directories on the fly?
  
  Hello all,
  I have a functional samba/windind file server (SLES 10) thats a member
  server of an Active Directory domain.  I'm able to successfully resolve user
  and group accounts from AD.  The problem I'm having is samba isn't creating
  home directories automatically when I try to map to a AD user share from Win
  XP.  What I am able to do is, when I ssh into the machine with an AD user,
  it creates the the home directory.  I can't figure out why because my pam.d
  configs are configured for this to happen.  But obviously I'm missing
  something.  One thing I did try as a result from googling is changing the
  /home/MYDOM directory to 777, but no cigar.  Here's my pam.d configs and
  smb.conf below.  Thanks in advance.
  
  /etc/pam.d/samba:
  auth     include        common-auth
  account  include        common-account
  password include        common-password
  session  include        common-session
  
  /etc/pam.d/sshd
  auth     include        common-auth
  auth     required       pam_nologin.so
  account  include        common-account
  password include        common-password
  session  include        common-session
  
  /etc/pam.d/common-session
  session required        pam_mkhomedir.so
  session required        pam_limits.so
  session required        pam_unix2.so
  
  =======================================
  
  /etc/samba/smb.conf:
  [global]
          workgroup = MYDOM
          printing = cups
          printcap name = cups
          printcap cache time = 750
          cups options = raw
          logon drive = H:
          idmap gid = 10000-20000
          idmap uid = 10000-20000
          realm = MYDOM.ORG
          security = ADS
          template homedir = /home/%D/%U
          template shell = /bin/bash
          winbind refresh tickets = yes
          winbind enum users = yes
          winbind enum groups = yes
          winbind use default domain = yes
