[Samba] %LOGONSERVER% variable in netlogon/Default User folder redirection
Hi, (This is taken form here : http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#redirfold ) I'm using folder redirection so I have a NTUSER.DAT file in the "netlogon" directory on the logon server (the primary domain controler), which I edited with regedit to set up some folders so that they point to the logon server by using the %LOGONSERVER% variable, and it seems it doesn't work if I change this variable for the logon server netbios name. The thing is that the users data is in the Primary Domain Controler, and when they log in byt the Backup Domain Controler this variable becames the netbios name of the Backup Domain Controler, where are not the users profile data. Is there a way to define this field in NTUSER.DAT so it always point to the Primary Domain Controler? Example: I want to change in NTUSER.DAT (with regedit, the User Shell Folders key ) Desktop REG_SZ %LOGONSERVER%\profdata\%USERNAME%\Desktop by: Desktop REG_SZ \\PDC\profdata\%USERNAME%\Desktop It shoud work but it doesn't. Any tips please? Thanks a lot.
