From Windows 7 32-bit Enterprise (Hungary) client from the command lineI started a dsadd command, which included the following: dsadd user CN=ValakiJanos,OU=Tart,DC=valami,DC=local -pwd Jelszok_ -hmdrvP: -hmdir \\probal\home\ValakiJanos -profile\\probal\Profiles\ValakiJanos -display "Valaki Janos" -ln Valaki -fnJanos -pwdneverexpires yes. The command set up everything except one, does not automatically create the user's home directory!The "Active Directory Users and Computers" MMC Snap-in module automatically creates the user home directory! Although this phenomenon could produce Ubuntu Linux 13.10 amd64 + SernetSamba 4.1.5 .smb.conf:

Hi, install libpam-modules (if not already installed) and then add this 
line to /etc/pam.d/common-session:

session optional        pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0022

Your users homedirs will then get created when they login to the server.
