Description Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2014-03-17 08:38:45 CET
We have two possibilities to define a roaming profile for a user:
 1. the GPO setting
 2. the user setting in UMC

For me it was not complete clear after reading the chapter:
 http://docs.univention.de/handbuch-3.2.html#windows:roamingprofiles:samba4
 http://docs.univention.de/manual-3.2.html#windows:roamingprofiles:samba4

I think we should explain that both configurations are possible (GPO and user settings) and that it depends on the admin preferences. We should also add an UMC example, I think a screen shot would be nice.

For the UMC setting:

Samba adds a ".V2" for the profile directory for Windows 7. At least if the user settings in UMC are used:

root@master211:~# univention-ldapsearch uid=stefan2 sambaProfilePath -LLL
dn: uid=stefan2,cn=users,dc=deadlock21,dc=local
sambaProfilePath: \\master211\stefan2\windows-profiles

root@master211:~# ls /home/stefan2/windows-profiles.V2/ -ld
drwxrwx---+ 14 stefan2 Domain Users 4096 11. Feb 13:05 /home/stefan2/windows-profiles.V2/
root@master211:~#

FEEDBACK: In das Kapitel könntet Ihr ein bisschen mehr Liebe stecken, zumal dazu schon etwas im KB/Wiki
steht. z.B. das ja hier auch schon mitgedacht wurde und es schon gute Vorschläge gibt (was man aber meist zu spät mitbekommt) und am Wühlen im Wiki ist..
http://forum.univention.de/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=4278

So währe etweder ein Wiki Eintrag oder hier im Handbuch ein Kapitelchen zum Thema
wie bekomme ich ein H: (wie Home) Laufwerk für alle User gemappt und wo wird es im Server angelegt oder gibt es wieder ein magic ucr-script?
PRODUKTNUTZUNG: im Rahmen einer Evaluation.
