Hi all
same problem as here
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2013-January/170817.html
I can create a user called xlinuxd but it does not automatically create a
home directory.
I use the following command:
samba-tool user add xlinuxd --given-name=Linux --surname=Delta
--home-drive=H --home-directory="\\\mydomain\Users\xlinuxd" --mail-address=
linux.delta at mydomain.co.za --script-path=xlinuxd.cmd
When going to a windows machine, if I open dsa.msc it shows the home folder
correctly, but does not physically create a home folder.
I have tried to create a physical directory and then invoke :
chmod 770 /home/Users/xlinuxd -R
but this does not work either
I am also creating hundreds of users, so would like a command line option
instead of editing each user through the dsa.msc and creating home
directories.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
