[Samba] Samba 4 and gpo in win7

Hi! 

Could access sysvol directory per default from xp and win7 machines. 

Tried adding adding host msdfs = yes in smb.conf. 

Afterwards non of the clients could access sysvol directory through explorer view. 
And still no gpo applying for win7 clients. 

I´m kinda confused. Are gpo suppose to work with samba4 and win7? 
It works perfect with my win xp clients.

Hi, 

I thought dfs is not working with samba4, " Try to add: host msdfs = yes"???!! 
Is it or not? My last tries failed.

Try to add: 
host msdfs = yes 
in [Global] section. 

Also try to access your sysvol folder this way 
\\mydomain.tld\sysvol\mydomain.tld\Policies in windows XP and then in 
windows 7. 

Finally you can send us a tcpdump/tshark capture between you windows 
client and samba server, see here for instruction on tracing:
