So, I come to you because I have a little problem when setting up my domain controller based on CentOS 6.5 and Samba 4.1.6.
Everything works well, except for one small detail, which in my case blocking me.
I would like to automatically generate the home directory of the user during the first connection (from Win or Linux), but the problem is that for some unknown reason, the variable substitution does not work in the smb.conf
I tested various alternatives for the user name, for example, but none works.
Here is my smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = ADS
realm = ADS.LOCAL
netbios name = BOOS17
server role = active directory domain controller
dns forwarder = 172.16.130.7
server services = rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, winbind, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate, dns, smb
dcerpc endpoint servers = epmapper, wkssvc, rpcecho, samr, netlogon, lsarpc, spoolss, drsuapi, dssetup, unixinfo, browser, eventlog6, backupkey, dnsserver, winreg, srvsvc
idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
[netlogon]
path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/ads.local/scripts
read only = No
[sysvol]
path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol
read only = No
[home]
comment = %U %USERNAME% %ACCOUNTNAME% %USERACCOUNT% %u Home Directory
path = /home/ADS
read only = No
[Global Share]
comment = Global %D %DOMAIN% %DOMAINNAME% Share
path = /home/globalshare
valid users = User1
read list = User1
write list = User1
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
None of the variables used is replaced.
Here is the result of an example smbclient command:
# smbclient -L localhost -U Administrator -c 'ls'
Enter Administrator's password:
Domain=[ADS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
netlogon Disk
sysvol Disk
home Disk %U %USERNAME% %ACCOUNTNAME% %USERACCOUNT% %u Home Directory
Global Share Disk Global %D %DOMAIN% %DOMAINNAME% Share
IPC$ IPC IPC Service
Domain=[ADS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6]
Server Comment
--------- -------
Workgroup Master

I dont really know where the problem is.
Someone would have an idea?
