[Samba] Name of the share in windows explorer

[Edouard Guigné]

Hello,

My samba share is on a Linux Centos 7, samba version 4.8.3. Please find 
here is my smb.cnf :

[global]
     security = ads
     realm = MYDOMAIN.MYDOMAIN.LOCAL
     workgroup = MYDOMAIN
     kerberos method = secrets and keytab
     server signing = mandatory
     client signing = mandatory

     hosts allow = 127. 10.x.x. 10.x.x.
     hosts deny = 10.x.x. 10.x.x.

     log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
     max log size = 5000

     disable spoolss = yes

     vfs objects = acl_xattr
     map acl inherit = yes
     store dos attributes = yes

     idmap config * : backend = tdb
     idmap config * : range = 15000-99999
     winbind nss info = rfc2307
     idmap config MYDOMAIN : backend = ad
     idmap config MYDOMAIN : schema_mode = rfc2307
     idmap config MYDOMAIN : range = 10000 - 14999
     idmap config MYDOMAIN : unix_nss_info = yes
     idmap config MYDOMAIN : unix_primary_group = yes

     client min protocol = SMB2


[groups]
   comment = myserver
   path = /var/datashared
   public = no
   writable = yes

   guest ok = no

   valid users = @"MYDOMAIN\utilisateurs du domaine"

   vfs objects = acl_xattr streams_xattr shadow_copy2
   shadow:snapdir = /data/datashared/snapshots
   shadow:basedir = /var/datashared
   shadow:sort = desc
   shadow:localtime = yes


[homes]
     comment = Home Directories
     read only = No
     create mask = 0700
     directory mask = 0700
     valid users = @"MYDOMAIN\utilisateurs du domaine"
     path = /home
     hide files = /~*.tmp/profile/desktop.ini/~$*/
     browseable = no
     public = no
     guest ok = no

[printers]
     comment = All Printers
     path = /var/tmp
     printable = Yes
     create mask = 0600
     browseable = No

[print$]
     comment = Printer Drivers
     path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
     write list = root
     create mask = 0664
     directory mask = 0775

On an older samba share (version 3.5.6), only \\myserver was visible in 
windows explorer for both [groups] and [homes]
