== Setup ==
After the installation you will find that there is a new item on the server-manager panel called I-bay letters.
It takes the user to a page that will display the list of I-bay names, descriptions, associated groups and a 4th column with a drop down option that allows a Windows drive letter to be associated with that I-bay. Once the settings are saved, a computer currently joined to the domain will map that drive letter to the I-bay if the user belongs to the I-bay group.
Right on the bottom of the list you can define the user's home folder (most likely H:). If you make any changes to the home drive you have to make sure you reload the Workgroup settings (which will restart Samba).
Further down, there is a list of all groups and descriptions followed by a column named "Custom Batch file". If the user clicks one of the links they can create a batch file that will be executed when a user belonging to that particular group logs in.
The file is created under the /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/custom folder. If the group is called 'all-users' a file 'all-users.bat' will be created under /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/custom.
In some situations it is required that a custom command is run for a particular user, in that case a file called 'username.bat' should be created under /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon/custom and it will be executed when that user logs in.
In parallel with the Windows batch file generation a custom .pam_mount.conf.xml is also generated on the server. That is a part of a (currently) Ubuntu integration with SME Server (automatic home and shares mounting) akin to what Windows currently does. It uses a combination of pam_mount, pam_winbind and optionally NFS (roaming profiles-like functionality).
A document explaining the procedure will be added as part of this document.
