What's wrong with not having a [profile] share at all, and instead using the [homes] share, and a profile subdirectory? This has the advantage that windows knows they are different files for each user, and will not attempt to 'optimise' the file locking between users (remember, MS has a strictly one-to-one mapping between shares and real disk paths). > > > > hoping that ~user would resolve correctly.

I know this happens with netlogon - but have you really seen it with profiles?
