Hi all,
I need help to set roaming profiles in my network environment.
I follow the samba wiki steps from here:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Windows_Profiles#Implementing_Roaming_Profiles_with_Samba

The user's creation is made by Gosa software, and the settings are the same
in smb.conf.
If i comment all the options related with profiles in smb.conf, the home
folder is mapped and the profile is locally created.

My samba version is 3.6.6, using ldap backend...and the clients machines
are XP and 7
My testparm command, results in:

[global]
workgroup = VMLDAP
server string = LDAP-SERVER
map to guest = Bad User
passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://127.0.0.1"
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
debug pid = Yes
debug uid = Yes
deadtime = 10
.......
......some ldap specs
......
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a
logon drive = X:
domain logons = Yes
os level = 64
domain master = Yes
utmp = Yes
idmap config * : backend = tdb
admin users = root

[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
browseable = No

[profiles]
comment = Network Profiles Share
path = /export/home/comput/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
profile acls = Yes
browseable = No
csc policy = disable

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
read only = No
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = No
