WindowsNT.3.5 domain: location of homes

  • 772

Context: I am working with a Samba PDC (not AD mode) which emulate a MS NT Server 3.5.

My problem is with the following line on smb.conf:

logon home = \\%L\%U

This line makes users mount a home share named after their username called with the alphabeth letter specified in the user's LDAP entry:

 sambaHomeDrive: Y:

My question is: may I change logon home to

 logon home = \\my_store_server\%U

Or I am forced to have homes on PDC?

samba

    No, %L's value mean the Samba server's NetBIOS name. You can replace that with any server name you want.

    Just be aware that the auto creation of home directory can be affected.
