You don't need to explicitly set anything userSmbHome or userProfile
related ldap parameters, unless you need to set for some users, some
nondefault paths

My smb.conf already use %L (logon path =
\\%L\profiles\%U)
Is that mean in the smbldap_conf.pm, the $_userSmbHome
is set as q(\\\\%L\\homes) and _userProfile are set as
q(\\\\%L\\profiles\\)???
Thanks a lot!

Change PDC to %L and you are done, the clients will
request the share
from the DC they are connected to.
My problem is that when my PDC is down, my BDC can
pick up the user authorization but is not able to
help
client to mount to the home directory.
I am using openldap to store user account, I found
the
samba home drive entry in the openldap as
//PDC/homes.
I don't know whether this prevent my BDC to help
client to mount to the //BDC/homes instead...
Do anyone know how to solve this??
Thanks a lot!

Dear Paul:
Would you show me how can I implement the BDC so
that
the user can mount to the BDC home and get the
profile
on BDC instead when the PDC is down??
Thanks a lot!

Makes sense
it keeps saying that it can't retrieve the user
profile. Also the user's home drive can't map
to
client PC machine.
Also makes sense.
the map drive and the profile path as
//PDC/homes
and
//PDC/profiles. Is that mean, if I am using
BDC,
it
is
failed to find the //PDC/homes and
//PDC/profiles?
If your pdc has gone down you will most
certainly
have a problem
mounting drives/accessing files on that machine,
just as when any other
server goes down you can't access services
hosted
on
it. If this is
your goal, you need to find some way to make the
pdc/home data highly
available, such as storing them on a seperate
server
that the users are
then pointed to for the data. There are many
ways
to go about doing
this, you just need to find the way that works
best
for your situation.
