AD authentication and home directory
Hi!
I have set up AD authentication and it is working correctly. I would like to change where home directory is created when user logs on first time. At the moment home directory is created to /home/DOMAIN/user and I would like to change it to /home/user
Thanks in advance!

Hello
You can change below in /etc/samba/smb.conf
template homedir = /home/%U
Restart samba & winbind
# service smb restart
# service winbind restart
Its not a good idea to change the template homedir becuase a situation where you have joined domains, In that case user atolani from DOMAIN1 & user atolani from DOMAIN2 will have the same home directory /home/atolani/
