Hi, as I wrote some weeks ago, I walk through on the SaMBa Guide/Making happy users. I struggled some days with roaming profiles. The client didn't find the default profile on the server (but it applied NTConfig.POL from that share). Finally I found in the windows roaming profile debug log an error: it always referred to \\%L\profiles. When I changed the When I set logon home parameter in smb.conf, it didn't help, but, when i used: smbldap-usermod -F \\\\massive\\profiles\\bobj The client applied the roaming profile successfully. I could change the userProfile setting in smbldap.conf, but maybe it would be better to use the flexible %L substitution. How can I avoid this fixed setting? If you need detailed configuration info, please ask me to give it. Thanks.

I tried out your suggestion, but it didn't solve the problem. I tried the following: smbldap-usermod -F %LOGONSERVER%\\profiles\\bobj bobj It worked. %LOGONSERVER% is a windows environment variable. So, in smb.conf, in the logon path parameter, I can use SaMBa variables, but in the LDAP directory, in the sambaProfilePath parameter, I can use Windows variables.
