You can still make your profiles folder on a second server in your smb.conf.
[Profiles] path = /home/%U/%U.pds browseable = no guest ok = yes profile acls = yes # Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /home/netlogon readonly = yes browseable = yes Here I have the regular /home which is an nfs mount but you could instead specify a UNC path. I know I tested this in the past. I would activate and test this now but I have a meeting in 30 minutes and so its not good to make any changes with no one running the store... Also all other shares (user public and private + several dfs mounts) are mapped with my login script to the appropriate servers.
