OK, in AD there two home directory attributes:
homeDirectory
unixHomeDirectory
The first is for the Windows home directory and will contain the
computer that holds the share and the path to the home directory. This
will be in Windows format, an example is:
\\computername\users\username or
\\devstation\users\rowland
That is: The user 'rowland' has a share stored in the 'users'
share on
the computer called 'devstation'
Provided that the 'homeDrive' attribute is set to a letter e.g.
'H:'
This will cause Windows to mount the users share on 'H:'
The unixHomeDirectory attribute contains the path to a Unix home
directory e.g. /home/username
This will supply the home directory for users on all Unix machines that
use the winbind 'ad' backend.
You only really need to set 'unixHomeDirectory' if your users will log
into a Unix computer. A Windows user only needs to set the
'homeDirectory' attribute, the setting of which is shown on this link:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows_User_Home_Folders
You only need to use the rfc2307 attributes if you are also running a
Unix domain member as a fileserver and only then if you use the winbind
'ad' backend.

I was able to sort out the home drives.? Thanks for the help on that.??
I'm now seeing the following messages in the syslog but I'm not sure
what they mean.??
named[25918]: samba_dlz: starting transaction on zone xxxxxxxxnamed[25918]:
client @0x7fb858011940 192.168.1.xxx#50743: update 'xxxxxxxx/IN'
deniednamed[25918]: samba_dlz: cancelling transaction on zone xxxxxxxx
They seem to come from all clients which are all Windows machines.? Any ideas??
My googling hasn't gotten me very far.??
Thanks
