samba - Aug 2009 - Enforcing local profile doesn't let Home Directory mapping

Dear all,

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Server 64-bit edition and I am trying to
enforce Local profile for all users and below is my smb.conf file.
According to the samba documentation, leaving the logon home and logon
path values to empty will enforce local profiles, it worked. But, my
main requirement is when users login their home directories are mapped
and they appear in My Computer window so they get to access all their
files. This disappears if i enable the above mentioned option.

How do i get both of them working?

Thanks
Avinash

[global]
    workgroup = abc
    server string = Samba on SUN
    max log size = 1500
    log level = 1
    interfaces = eth2 100.100.100.50
    bind interfaces only = True
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

    domain logons = yes
    os level = 65
    prefered master = yes
    domain master = yes
    local master = yes

    logon home     logon path 
    winbind gid = 10000-20000
    winbind use default domain = yes
    idmap uid = 0-20000
    idmap gid = 0-20000
    add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d /home/nobody %u
    dns proxy =No
    hosts allow = 127. 10.10.10.
    wins support = Yes
    passdb backend = tdbsam

    encrypt passwords = true
    smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        security = user
        netbios name = sunbox
    username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

[homes]
    comment = Home Dir
    read only = NO
    browseable = NO
    valid users = %S
    path = %H
    directory mask = 0700
    create mask = 0700

[share]
    comment = test share
    path = /sambashare
    create mask = 0765

Thanks for the reply.
My Homes share has this entry, but the global entry is overriding.

Basically there three ways in which u can force local profile, one is
through smb.conf file, the second one is to edit the registry key on
winxp clients and the third one is do it in my computer properties and
change it to local profile.. The last two are really time consuming
coz i have more than 50 computers!

Avinash,

You should be able to map the drives by creating a [netlogon] share, 
then using logon scripts containing
"net use" commands.
Note: these scripts must be created with a DOS/Windows text editor.

See example <http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch06_06.html>
