Hi Daniel,
I tested it on a 4.1.2 test server and it does exactly all of the above.
Very good work, many thanks.
(BTW, I had updated Samba on that server earlier to 2.2.1a but this should
not make a difference for the testing).
During my tests I ran into the same problems and questions that I had with
former tests:
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U is for WinNT and Win2k user profiles only.
logon home = \\%L\%U specifies the user's home directory AND the location
for Win9x user profiles (since Samba 2.0.7).
logon drive = H: maps the user's home directory (for WinNT and Win2k only,
for Win9x I map it in the logon script
with net use H: /home).
The remaining problems are the user profiles for Win9x machines which will
reside in the user's home directory with the above settings. I can't get
them onto the 'profiles' share. For that I would have to change for example
to
logon home = \\%L\profiles\%U\something but then the
logon drive = H: maps to a completely wrong folder for the Win2k users
because Win2k can map to subdirectories under shares. WinNT would actually
map H: to \\%L\profiles because it can only map to \\servername\sharename
(like Win9x).
Is there anyone who might have an idea to cover all of that? (= to store
user profiles for all OSs on a 'profile' share and to establish a drive
mapping to the user's home directory in each OS).
Thanks for any idea.
