I've recently connected a 64-bit windows box to my existing Samba-run
domain. In order to do this, I upgraded to Samba 3.0.23c. Most things
work fine. However, I'm having trouble getting the 64-bit box to
properly pick up the location of the roaming profile. I want the
profile to be stored in a directory in the user's home directory called
".profiles". However, 64 bit windows insists on storing it and
looking
for it in a directory called "profile" in the user's home
directory.
All of our existing 32-bit XP machines get the folder from ".profile"
without problem. The current workaround I'm using is a soft link from
"profile" to ".profile", which works, but it irks me that I
can't get
this to work properly with the "logon path" and "logon home"
parameters
in my smb.conf file. Has anyone see this problem?
Below is my smb.conf file, and thanks for any help!
