Workstations successfully registered with the PDC, users can login, profiles are found and updated, network shares are all mounted during login (logon script = %G.bat) except for the home directory of the user.


I met the same problem more than once and I found that I have to remove the corresponding entries from the LDAP database ("sambaHomePath" and "sambaHomeDrive" attributes). If these attributes are set, the user does not connect to his home service. The homedir needs to be only in smb.conf.




I must add that, according to documentation, the home directory LDAP attributes need only to be set for a particular user if they differ from the general setting. Quoting from "The Official Samba 3.5 HOWTO":

11.4.4.8 LDAP Special Attributes for sambaSamAccounts
The sambaSamAccount ObjectClass is composed of the attributes shown in next tables: Part A, and Part B. The majority of these parameters are only used when Samba is acting as a PDC of a domain (refer to Domain Control, for details on how to configure Samba as a PDC). The following four attributes are only stored with the sambaSamAccount entry if the values are non-default values:

• sambaHomePath
• sambaLogonScript
• sambaProfilePath
• sambaHomeDrive

These attributes are only stored with the sambaSamAccount entry if the values are non-default values. For example, assume MORIA has now been configured as a PDC and that logon home = \\%L\%u was defined in its smb.conf file. When a user named ‘becky’ logs on to the domain, the logon home string is expanded to \\MORIA\becky. If the smbHome attribute exists in the entry ‘uid=becky,ou=People,dc=samba,dc=org’, this value is used. However, if this attribute does not exist, then the value of the logon home parameter is used in its place. Samba will only write the attribute value to the directory entry if the value is
something other than the default (e.g., \\MOBY\becky).
