Hello All,
Today I was able to implement Samba4 as a DC with AD in a test
environment. I eventually got it all working and was able to join the
domain from two different virtual machines. I was also able to set up
a roaming profile share and configure a user to utilize this share. My
issue is that when I first logged into the domain after setting up the
roaming profiles I did so from a Windows XP machine. the user's
roaming directory was correctly created an all profile data stored.
However, when I logged out of the Windows XP machine and logged back
in from a Windows 7 machine another (totally separate) user profile
directory was created with a .V2 appended to it. The two profiles do
not talk to one another and exist on their own. In my opinion this
cripples the roaming profile functionality unless your enter network
is make up of computers using the same OS. Is this a bug, or is there
a solution to this behavior.
Thanks for any insight.
You get the same problem in Linux - trying to share a home folder for an
account where they are running different versions of the same window
manager or different versions of Linux. The various resource files are
not always compatible so you are out of luck trying to share everything.
I wouldn't even try to get it to work. Just accept that Windows 7
profiles are different from Windows XP profiles.
