Well after nearly a week of agony I finally have my Win 7 roaming
profiles acting like roaming profiles. It tuns out that while trying to
get %u (as opposed to %U) to work I also was playing with the Win 7
profiles. Apparently I managed to munge these registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SidXXX\CacheNextLogon
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SidXXX\RefCount
For the roaming profile to synchronize properly the CacheNextLogon
REG_DWORD had to be set to 0x00000000 and the RefCount REG_DWORD to
0x00000001. After I fixed these to have the proper value my profiles
began to synchronize properly with my Samba PDC. I don't even remember
what web search found this little tidbit but I guess even a blind
squirrel finds a nut every so often.
