Hi Steve,
Maybe I have misunderstood what you are trying to do but if you already
have automounter doing the right thing - maybe for the sake of argument
mapping
/home2/students/year7/year7a/student1
/home2/students/year7/year7a/student2
...
...
/home2/students/year13/year13a/student2500
to
/homes/student1
/homes/student2
...
...
/homes/student250

then you need only [homes] share in the smb.conf,
and then (similarly to Matthieu's suggestion) provide
\\servername\%username%
for homeDirectory attribute (and profilePath if you want roaming profiles)?

Hi Lukasz
No, you have understood perfectly

Is you [homes] a winbind [homes]?

If so, we'd rather avoid having everyone in the same folder even if they are only links to the real data. We'd like to separate students from e.g. [staff] [admin] [webstuff] ... if only for readability purposes e.g.

[students]
path = /home/students/data
read only = No
browsable = No

then

ln -s /home2/students/year7/year7a/student1 /home/students/data/student1

In AD that becomes:

unixHomeDirectory: /home2/students/year7/year7a/student1
homeDirectory: \\server\students\student1
homeDrive: Z:

How does that look?

Cheers and thanks for your time,
Steve
