Hi together,

first of all, I'm very new to the Samba world, so please excuse any misunderstandings.

My company has considered switching from a Windows Domain to an open source solution, which leads to me testing the feasibility of such a migration. Currently I'm checking out Zentyal which is Ubuntu based and runs with a Samba AD. I have achieved to set up the Zentyal as the DC and also include several clients into the domain. When it comes to roaming profiles, the Windows 10 machines are working properly, first logon creates a corresponding profile folder with the typical ".V6"-suffix. However, once a user logs into the system using a Windows 7 client, no V2-profile folder is created. Even when I provide a given V2-folder copied from an existing user, the client still only works on a temporary profile.

The system is an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Samba 4. This is the smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = xxx
realm = xxx.LOCAL
netbios name = dc2019-1
server string = Zentyal Server
server role = dc
server role check:inhibit = yes
server services = -dns
server signing = auto
dsdb:schema update allowed = yes
ldap server require strong auth = no
drs:max object sync = 1200

idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes

winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
template shell = /bin/bash
template homedir = /home/%U

rpc server dynamic port range = 49152-65535

interfaces = lo,eth0
bind interfaces only = yes

map to guest = Bad User

log level = 3
log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log
max log size = 100000



include = /etc/samba/shares.conf



[profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles
browseable = no
read only = no

[netlogon]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/xxx.local/scripts
browseable = no
read only = yes

[sysvol]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
read only = no



Any clues? Unfortunately I have not found anything that says it's a known problem..
