Windows 7 clients require that a version 2 profile folder exist in the profiles$ share, which on SME Server is located in /home/e-smith/files/samba/profiles.
This additional profile folder is automatically provisioned for existing users when installing latest version of e-smith-samba (see [[bugzilla:5425|bug 5423]]). After this point, all new user accounts have the folder created as soon as they are added.
{{Note box|If version 2 profile folders are not available, Windows 7 will create a temporary profile when you log in. Should you experience this problem, make sure that your SME Server installation is fully up to date.}}
Version 2 profiles are not compatible with Windows XP an earlier versions. If you have mixed environments you will be required to maintain two separate profiles for each user.
