[Samba] Roaming Profiles - WinXP and Win7

[Aaron Wood]

Hello All,

Today I was able to implement Samba4 as a DC with AD in a test 
environment. I eventually got it all working and was able to join the 
domain from two different virtual machines. I was also able to set up a 
roaming profile share and configure a user to utilize this share. My 
issue is that when I first logged into the domain after setting up the 
roaming profiles I did so from a Windows XP machine. the user's roaming 
directory was correctly created an all profile data stored. However, 
when I logged out of the Windows XP machine and logged back in from a 
Windows 7 machine another (totally separate) user profile directory was 
created with a .V2 appended to it. The two profiles do not talk to one 
another and exist on their own. In my opinion this cripples the roaming 
profile functionality unless your enter network is make up of computers 
using the same OS. Is this a bug, or is there a solution to this behavior.

Thanks for any insight.
