I'd been trying that without success. The section on using ACLs doesn't work in my case for some reason. For example, the section in preparatory work says to: setfacl -m g:"domain admins":rwx /srv/samba/Demo/ where I substituted my profiles path for their path. When I run it, I get # setfacl -m g:"domain admins":rwx /home/samba/profiles setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3 The AD DC doesn't seem to recognize domain users or groups at all. And on the Windows end, the ability to set privileges based on domain groups or users seems spotty. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Similarly in the section "Profile share with using POSIX ACLs", I can't chgrp to a domain group. What finally worked was to ignore all the errors and just add the extra lines to the share definition in smb.conf: store dos attributes = Yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 profile acls = yes csc policy = disable Once I did that (and reloaded the config) the other profiles started working.

There is still a minor glitch in that I need a to connect to a share before the profiles get saved. It doesn't have to be the profiles share, but if I don't have a share connected, the profile isn't saved. Fortunately each workstation is supposed to have at least one connection to a share.

Are you doing this on a DC or a member server ? on a DC I get this: root at dc01:~# getent group "domain admins" EXAMPLE\Domain Admins:*:10002: and on a member server: rowland at ThinkPad ~ $ getent group "domain admins" domain_admins:x:10002:s4admin,rowland,administrator I have RFC2307 attributes in AD and winbind set up on both.> For example, the section in preparatory work says to: > setfacl -m g:"domain admins":rwx /srv/samba/Demo/ > where I substituted my profiles path for their path.
