Hello everybody,
if I use Microsoft's Active Directory Users tool to add a home drive mapping
to a users profile, I encounter the problem that ADUC tool cannot create
automatically the home directory for the desired user. ADUC tool fails with the
message, that the share cannot be accessed.
My smb.conf contains:
[global]
template homedir = /data1/homes/%ACCOUNTNAME
[homes]
browseable = no
read only = no
When user johndoe browse the share \\s4srv he will see a share with the name
johndoe. If he doubleclicks this share, he see's the content of his home
directory. Until here everything work's fine and is reasonable. As man
smb.conf explains the [homes] share is a special share and the behavior is
explained in details.
My problem is, that I am logged-in with MYDOMNAME\Administrator at a Windows
client, and running the ADUC tool. In users profile I enter for home drive
mapping following information:
U: --map---to---\\s4srv\%username%
The syntax is correct, but ADUC cannot access this share, because it would
resolve to \\s4srv\administrator at this step. I think that's why ADUC cannot
create this share, because of the special mapping of the [home] share. The
[home] share is cloned and the username of the accessing user is used. (see
'man smb.con' under section [homes] special share).
How can I achieve to have ADUC tool create also the home dir when I create a
new user? Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lucas.
