[Samba] %a switch for windows7 und w2008 server?
Hi I have found this switch for seperating profiles in a mixed windows version environment You can also take full advantage of Samba's Variable Substitutions and further separate User's profiles, such as by architecture. Using the directive: * logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U\%a will separate the user's profiles relating to each version of Windows, such as WinXP, WinNT, etc. This is extremely helpful if you have users that jump from computer to computer that have different versions of Windows on them. This can solve a whole slew of problems relating to the registry on different versions of Windows, especially when running different version of Internet Explorer. Separating profiles in this way can be a very powerful feature, especially when you include Folder Redirection into the mix. In smb.conf (3.4.8) I found, that %a only recognizes Windows Versions up to Vista Are windows7 und w2008 server recognized to or stated as unknown? %a The architecture of the remote machine. It currently recognizes Samba (Samba), the Linux CIFS file system (CIFSFS), OS/2, (OS2), Windows for Workgroups (WfWg), Windows 9x/ME (Win95), Windows NT (WinNT), Windows 2000 (Win2K), Windows XP (WinXP), Windows XP 64-bit(WinXP64), Windows 2003 including 2003R2 (Win2K3), and Windows Vista (Vista). Anything else will be known as UNKNOWN. Regards Hansj?rg
