[Samba] Profile problem

[Anders Östling]

Hi
Yes, I think that this too was a problem which I detected when scrutinising everything.
However, I decided to start over and take another path and use GPO’s for home drive, profiles and folder redirection.

smb.conf share definitions corrected (Rowlands input)
New directories created on Debian without any extra unix permission setting
GPO’s created
User account for test deleted and recreated
Test computer rebooted to get the GPO's

Result:
Logon works as expected
Profile folder created and populated on logout
App shares mounted as expected using sysvol netlogon script
GPO’s shown on DC with samba-tool gpo listall

Not working (yet):
User’s home directory not created and therefore not mapped to U.
My previous tests showed that the folder was created *when* I filled in the Profile tab manually in ADUC. Now I rely on the GPO’s, so one step is probably missing.

All in all, I am confident that this will work before end of today :)

Thanks all for inspiration and support!

/Anders
