[Samba] user profil wipe in a samba 4 AD domain

[joseph-andre Guaragna]

OK for the local profiles. I got both of them one call joe and the
other domain.joe.
Saw it, no problem about that. I copied the data from local to domain one.

The thing is that after few days the domain.joe was emptied. The joe
did stay the same.

And I do not get why the domain.joe got blanked (all data gone)

Cheers for the help
