samba - Jul 2007 - prepare for vista

Am in testing phase with just a few lucky users to go live with samba. However,
I just had a thought.  What happens when we eventually do vista? Seems like I
may need to add %a to my path = statement, but it did not work. No profile was
created for the user under the "windows version" directory..  
Here's my testing smb.conf. Please have a look and see what I may need to do
to separate the profile according to the operating system the user is using.

BTW, feel free to hack me apart on these settings..

You don't need the %a (if it's only to separate Vista from other
versions)
Vista adds a ".V2" to the profile path 

an user profile reside in \\PDC\Profiles\username.v2 for vista
and in                    \\PDC\Profiles\username    for XP

Vista seems to work satisfactorily with a samba PDC.
the logon time is higher than with XP but everything we tested worked.
(We don't use Vista in production and didn't discovered the probably
numerous problems)

relevant parts of our smb.conf:

        domain logons = yes
        logon drive = h:
        logon home = \\%L\%U
        logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U

        read only = no
        browseable = no
        csc policy = disable
        hide files  = /?esktop.ini/
