Hi,
Excuse in advance my poor english.
After installing two new servers debian buster with samba 4.9.4 , one as
AD ,the second as a fileserver, I was stuck when i tried to connect my
users.
On a Win10 client , i had the message "windows could not connect to user
profile service".
The only clue i had was in the event viewer, errors concerning
svchost.exe_ProfSvc.
After digging internet, i ve found the solution here :

Before i found the solution, when i created user , i ran samba-tool like
this :
samba-tool user create dare aze123 --use-username-as-cn
--profile-path=\\fileserver\profiles\dare\dare*--home-drive=U*
--home-directory=\\fileserver\dare --userou=OU=UBO_USERS
--script-path=logonscript.vbs --nis-domain=samba494
--unix-home=/home/d/dare --uid=dare --uid-number=202369
--gid-number=51495 --gecos=Christian Dare --login-shell=/bin/tcsh
--username=Administrator --password=MyPassword
This syntax seems good but the semi-colon after U is missing for Windows
and it blocks the user login.
To fix the issue, i had to add a semi-colon after the home drive letter
like this :
samba-tool user create dare aze123 --use-username-as-cn
--profile-path=\\fileserver\profiles\dare\dare *--home-drive=U:*
--home-directory=\\fileserver\dare --userou=OU=UBO_USERS
--script-path=logonscript.vbs --nis-domain=samba494
--unix-home=/home/d/dare --uid=dare --uid-number=202369
--gid-number=51495 --gecos=Christian Dare --login-shell=/bin/tcsh
--username=Administrator --password=MyPassword
With this syntax, everything works fine as expected.
I think this is a new bug appeared with win10 version 1809 ( With the
1803 version, i didn t see this issue )
Thanks
Christian D
