I don't know exactly what you are trying to achieve, but isn't the notion of
"home folder" somewhat a thing of the past? I use Folder Redirection with
Windows 10 clients (and Windows 7 before) and it works like a charm. User
Profile folders are created automatically at first login. Furthermore, it
gives most of the advantages of roaming profiles without their huge
disadvantages in today's environment. All your users' profiles are nicely
hosted in the same place on a server and you can very easily backup them
all. To increase privacy, you can use "hide unreadable = yes" at the share
level.
