Hi,
It depends on what you mean by having to look at.
On way is to write some logon scripts, by which they would map the
shares as drives (of course that suppose to have the Samba3 boxes joined
to the AD of Samba4). If you intend to share some home directories, then
create the home share on Samba3 and specify the homepath for each user
as \\samba3servershostname\%USERNAME% and a homedrive according to your
taste (I had chosen U: (about 10 years ago (Samba 2.2.something))). If
you want to redirect some folders (e.g. Documents, Desktop, etc.) you
can do that by firing up the group policy editor and specifying the
redirects there.
