Soft links between samba profile and profile.V2
- by Alex Rose
I am currently using a samba server to host windows sessions. For the moment, every machine runs windows XP, but in an upcoming hardware upgrade, I will have new Windows 7 machines installed.
The problem is that the user directory changed from XP to 7 (for instance 'My Documents' became 'Documents'). To solve that, samba created a folder called profile.V2, which contains files and folders for Windows 7.
Now I would like to link the two profiles folders ('profile' from windows XP, 'profile.V2' from windows 7) so that a user can logon from a XP or 7 machine and still have access to the same files.
I tried to create softlinks between folder pairs ('Documents' - 'My documents') and it seems to work. My question is : is it likely to create issues in the future?
