Thank you, that works great, and it eliminates the need to create logon scripts for each user. That's a big improvement.
ADUC complains it cannot create the folder. Not surprising, because the specified folder \\samba3\username does not really exist -- it's a [homes] share, the true pathname is \\samba3\nas\homes\username. So I still need to create the directory in the samba3 system, and set permissions appropriately. Is there a way around this? The only solution I can see is to write a script that will create the necessary directories when a user is created. But that wouldn't be simple, because it's on a different server -- the user is created on the samba4 ADC and the shares are on the samba3 fileserver.
