Hello Christian This what I expected with Win7 clients. But in my case XP and 7 are using the same profile (which shouldn't be), but from different shares. It seems XP is connecting to the profiles via my share [nt-profile] and Win7 via share [nt-profile.v2]. If i comment [nt-profile.v2], Win7 cannot connect to the profile (it starts always with an temporary profile). My <username>.V2 profiles are still empty. I never saw an logentry pointing to <username>.V2. Several hits in google answers just to create/copy a <username>.V2 directory and that's it. Which didn't work for me. [nt-profile.v2] was just a guess due to entries from the samba logs. The only possibility I see, is to define "path = /BUERO/samba/nt-profile/%u.V2" (or something similar) in [nt-profile.v2] to differentiate between XP and 7. Who is adding the v2 extension? Is it samba or Win7? I'm running Samba 3.4.3.
