I've been trying to write a script to move user profile directories, and
so far not so good. Made the mistake of allowing windows to create the
profile dir in the user's homedir, and am attempting to rectify after
the fact. really do not want to go from machine to machine to deal with
this manually as it's monumentally inefficient.
Some symptoms are the inability to manage the profile on the workstation
- in my computer->properties->advanced->user profiles, copy and delete
are greyed out for the affected account, even for local admin.
I've tried to use the root postexec in smb.conf from the homes stanza to
trigger the move when the user logs off. Everything moves but seem to
be having the above issues with the profiles once they move.
using smb-tools to update ldap with the correct profile path, but I'm
wondering if something in the ntuser.dat or some other binary file needs
to be changed as well.

Depending on primary group membership the users profile is moved to the
appropriate server
Here's the script.
#!/bin/bash
# this script is called by samba's root postexec from the user's home
directory.
# it checks to see if the user's profile is in the users home dir. If
so, it is
# moved to the samba/profiles directory, and ldap is updated to reflect
the change
# if the user has no profile directory, one is created.
