[Samba] Windows 10 1709 detected as OSX

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai Christian, 

I did a quick check on one server. 
Debian 9, Samba 4.7.7 amd64
>From a Win10 Pro (Dutch) 1709 build 16299.371 

Results in this in my logs. 
/srv/profiles/username/Vista

Test share setup. 
[proftest]
     browseable = yes
     writeable = yes
     path = /srv/profiles/%U/%a

I would have expected : UNKNOWN and not Vista. 

But why such setup, for profiles windows its own.. 

Windows XP/2003 V1 (no extension used)
Windows Vista/2008  .V2
Windows 7/2008 R2   .V2
Windows 8/2012      .V2 or V3 if hotfix and registry change used
Windows 8.1/2012 R2 .V2 or V4 if hotfix and registry change used
Windows 10/2016     .V5 1507 and 1511 
Windows 10          .V6 1607 and up. 


Greetz, 

Louis
