I just went through the ordeal of renaming a Windows user account (from the previous incumbent's name to the position title, so I won't have to repeat this). Everything went smoothly. The account has access to the programs and files that it previously did. The roaming profile is being updated when the user logs out. The C:\user\president folder is accessing and storing the local documents properly.

The only thing not working right is the home share isn't being mounted as drive m:. They do map to drive m: for other user accounts so it's not a samba smb.conf setting. The old windows user has the same sid as the new one and the old unix user has the same user number as the new one. I also checked /etc/group and changed any extra group memberships for that user number.

I can see \\server\president in the Windows Explorer network but can't open the folder. I get a "Windows cannot access" error in Windows Explorer. I get a similar thing when I manually map drive m: to \\server\president. When I log onto the same machine using another account, the drive maps as expected and I can open that account's home folder in the network section in Windows Explorer.

The only thing I can think of is that a Samba .tdb database must have something or be missing something related to that user account's home share. Any ideas?
