Is this on the server or a client? If it is the S4 server using winbind 
then you are stuck, the home directory path is hard coded and cannot be 
changed if you use winbind.

on the S4 server
getent passwd rowland
HOME\rowland:*:10000:100:Rowland Penny:/home/HOME/rowland:/bin/bash

on a Linux client using sssd
rowland:*:10000:100:rowland:/home/rowland:/bin/bash
