I'm working on moving our users to a netapp filer and I am trying to use the cifs.homedir option. My understanding is that this should allow the user to mount \filer\username as a cifs share even though their home directory is really on something like \filer\somedirectory\username
I can make this work just fine if I do this with my own account, as a domain admin. If I try to do this with any other users account (say a test user) or as Administrator (and attempt to change my own account) I get an error from Active Directory that reads "The home folder could not be created because: The network name cannot be found."
Any clues based on what I have said to point at what I am doing wrong? What else I might want to look at?
