[Samba] issues with folder redirection and synchronisation
I have a samba/ldap PDC with a netlogon share and a samba member server (called sirius) with Profiles and homes shares (samba 3.0.14). Each user in the LDAP database has its sambaHomeDrive attribute set to "H:". I'm trying to follow http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#redirfold to configure my XP Pro client. It seems that I'm unable to have "folder redirection" AND "folder exclusion from roaming profiles" work together. After a fresh install of XP pro I use gpedit.msc to exclude "My documents" from roaming profiles. Then I copy NTUSER.DAT from "Default User" to the netlogon share. After joining XP to the domain everything works as expected. Folders are roaming except "My documents". Now I logon with a domain user and redirect his "My documents" folder to "H:\Windows\My documents". Then each time I logout I have a popup window saying: synchronisation of \\Sirius\lacoste on Samba 3.0.14a (Sirius). Also at the bottom left of every icon in "My documents" there is a blank square with two blue arrows. Can someone please explain what's going on? Regards, Thierry.
