samba - Oct 2022 - template homedir

I have a domain of somereallylongname at domain with a netbios name of 
SHORT.? I would like the user dirs on linux to be created as 
/home/%U at SHORT, but they keep getting created as %U at long_name

I cant seem to find the parameter that allows %D to be set as netbios 
shortname

When you say 'domain', do you mean the dns domain ? because that
isn't a
valid dns domain, also, when you say netbios domain, do you mean the 
netbios domain name or the the netbios name aka the short hostname in 
capitals.

Looks like you mean the computers name in capitals, in which case '%h' 
might be what you are looking for, but I think this will be in lowercase.

'%D' is always the netbios domain name (aka workgroup) in capitals.
