[Samba] local copy microsoft/credentials directory profile redirection

hello,

i've set up a domain controller to replace a production server.
both servers use profile redirection for all user environment directories.

my problem is that when logging onto the new domain and server, windows will
create in the %userprofile% local directory an Application Directory
containing Microsoft/Credentials/*SID*, although a copy exists on the
server.

this directory is used to store the user's network passwords.

because a blank credential directory is created stored network passwords
(explorer only) are not used. all other applications use the network copy of
the directory (as they should).

redirection is done through adm here are the pertinent settings:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
"AppData"="%logonserver%\profiles\%username%\Application Data"
"Cookies"="%logonserver%\profiles\%username%\Cookies"
"Desktop"="%logonserver%\%username%\Desktop"
"Personal"="%logonserver%\%username%\My Documents"
"Local AppData"="%logonserver%\profiles\%username%\Local
Settings\Application Data"
"Cache"="c:\temp\users\%username%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"
"History"="c:\temp\users\%username%\Local Settings\History"
"Local Settings"="c:\temp\users\%username%\Local Settings"

the same client joined to current domain (with the same adm settings) will
not reproduce un-desired behavior.

does anyone have any suggestions, guesses, etc?
