Home Folders won't deploy for already created users
Model: ReadyNas 3220 Firmware: 6.10.5 Hotfix 1 Environment: Win10 20H2-21H1 | Domain I'm having an issue where after I've enabled Home Folders, already present user profiles on client machines ...
OK, so mwilliams' personal folder is assigned to user 33397, which does not exist, and group 32897, which probably doesn't either.
drwx------ 1 33397 32897 0 Jan 30 2020 mwilliams
His proper user GUID is 33988 and his group is 33281:
uid=33988(mwilliams) gid=33281(domain users)
So I think chown -R mwilliams:33281 mwilliams from the .home share should fix the problem.
If not, then chown -R 33988:33281 mwilliams.
If the first one works, then this script should do it for all:
cd /home
for dir in */; do chown -R "${dir%?}:33281" "$dir"; done
chown -R admin:admin adminI'm using the GID for the group because I'm not entirely sure how to handle the group name "domain users" with a space in it.
If you have to use the UID instead of the name to make it work, then it'll take a lot more to get that info, and it's probably easier to just do it manually unless hou have a huge number of affected users.

Sorry, I replied to this but my reply just vanished, so here goes again.
The first line worked.
As for the "Domain Users" and as an example of what I did verbatim, I just ran:
id mwilliams
noted the gid of 33281(domain users), and ran:
chown -R mwilliams:33281 /home/DOMAIN/mwilliams
I will try the script after a bit.
Thank you so much for your time and patience.
