I apologize if this appears twice: I posted it several hours ago and it has not appeared on the list, so I am tweaking the email address and trying again.
I have two separate (virtual) servers: one running Samba4 functioning as an AD controller, and one running Samba 3.6.1 functioning as a file & print server. On the Samba3 side I am using security=ads and winbind and authenticating against the Samba4 ADC. Everything is working great. Where things get a little messy is with the [homes] shares. Here is what I am doing now: My Samba3 smb.conf has a typical [homes] section. I create a subdirectory for each user, and set ownership & permissions. I create a logon script on the Samba4 system -- one for each user, because the username is embedded in it: net use H: \\samba3\username And then I use RSAT to set the logon script to the correct value for each user. It's just a lot of steps that need to be performed (perfectly) for each user. Is there a better way? I see RSAT allows me to specify a "Home folder". Could this be a folder on the Samba3 server -- ie, \\samba3\username ? (I tried that and it did not work) I can imagine some scripts that would create the logon script on the Samba4 system, and create the necessary directories on the Samba3 system. I could probably manage that, but I hate to re-invent the wheel -- If there is a clean, orthodox way to do this, I would like to know what it is. Thank you.
