[Samba] Home folder: a simple mapping or something more?

Probably this email is connected with my previous one, about folder
redirection.

Looking at:

	https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Home_Folders

for AD there's three method to set home folder. ADUC and ldbedit is the
same, simply using different interfaces.


But setting a folder mapping via GPO, AFAI've understood, it is not exactly
the same as setting home folder.
Or better, setting a home folder trigger automatically a folder
mapping, but probably do something more, eg define some more variables
(HOMEDRIVE, HOMEPATH, ...), and even doing something more.
For example, i think that folder redirection does not work, because
there's no 'home drive', i'm using policy.

Probably these variables are used in installers on in softwares too...


Someone can confirm this? Someone have some clue on the differences in
using 'home drive' or a simple mapped network drive?


Thanks.
