Hi, 
thanks for the reply.

The Samba-AD is virtualized, therefore the storage is an a different machine.

I read this, but I have already an information overflow. Unfortunately, most of
the information found by google is outdated or regarding a differten version of
OS/Samba

unfortunately, not working...

On the same share (profiles), with the same setting I can copy, open, execute,
rewrite and overwrite files without any problem. permissions are correct.
Only the demo1.V4 directory which should hold the roaming profile is  still
showing empty directorys, and no files.

Allow me to introduce you to the 'profilePath' attribute, you can set
this to where ever you want the profiles to be stored, no need of NFS.

You are quite correct, a lot of the stuff found by google is old and
out of date, this is why we have the Samba wiki, why most people ignore
it, I have no idea. They seem to ask questions that refer to Samba
on the strangest of forums and mailing lists ;-)

If only one profile isn't working then probably there is a problem with
that profile.

Hmm, V4 profile, windows 8? 
I cant tell anything about windows 8, never used it. 
But it can be a compatabilty problem, see: 
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2890783/incompatibility-between-windows-8.1-roaming-user-profiles-and-those-in-earlier-versions-of-windows

So check if KB2887595 is installed.
