samba - Feb 2014 - Samba4: Site dependent profile path

Hi,
 AFAIK, the "logon path" parameter doesn't apply anymore in Samba
4.
If you want roaming profiles you have to use profilePath user
attribute. This works fine but I have an issue. In my environment we
have multiple sites. Each one has its own DC and its own file server.
We want to store the profile in the file server, but I couldn't fine a
way to fine this. I have to do it user by user, but it's a headache
for us. Users move from site to site and we don't have an accurate way
in advance to know the location of each user.

 If there way to define the file server for the profile that depends
on the site? Subnet, logon server, whatever?

Regards,
  Diego

You can try to create GPOs for each site defining the different profile 
paths
http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2010/03/setting-of-the-week-19-set-roaming-profile-path-for-all-users-logging-onto-this-computer/

and then link the different GPOs to sites:
