As I move along here, I will add  a simple share just to see it there 
before I tackle the big stuff.

Will look at this some more and also find out what GPO is.

 From what I have read so far about [home] share, when I create a user, 
it creates this directory?
Then I can rsync the current home directory over from the current server.

What about roaming profiles?

Hello Robert,

I haven't followed all of the many threads you opened during the last
days, but it seams you have many basic questions about Samba setup.

A good start for Samba (AD) beginners is here:
  https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Documentation

It covers many questions (AD setup/migration, print server, home shares,
roaming profiles, DNS, etc.).


Regards,
Marc

Oh, I have been plowing through those pages and have copious notes. 
Things are beginning to make sense; muchly because I have been trying 
things and seeing things not work and then going back and 'oh, that is 
what they mean'.

I want to thank people here for their help and forbearance.  I might 
soon not only have my first Samba AD, but an idea on a Samba AD arm 
appliance for SOHO use.  But then many are probably doing just that.
