samba - Apr 2014 - Variable substitution for profile paths in ADUC

Hi,

I'm in the process of migrating from a Samba 3.4 NT4 Domain to a a
Samba 4.1.6 AD domain.
The profile paths (logon path) in the old domain were specified using
the %U, %m and %a variable substitutions. In fact, there was one
profile per user and per client machine.
I would like to migrate all profiles. Is it possible to use similar
substitutions for the profile path setting in ADUC? Using Windows
variables like %USERNAME% and %COMPUTERNAME% seems to result in a
static profile path entry for each user.

Best regards
Andreas

- Open ADUC
- select all user accounts you want to change
- Right-click / properties
- fill the Profile path field with the UNC path to the profile. Instead 
of the username use %username%. It is replaced automatically with the 
username of each account you have selected.
