I'm not sure if this is the right place for this.
Anyway, I have the R2 schema installed into AD. For linux authing against my domain that's great, the attributes are more sensibly named than the SFU ones, and all the bits and pieces I need seem to be there.
However, when I log in to a Windows SUA shell, it just sets $HOME to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% or some equivalent. Is it possible to not do this; to instead pick up these settings from AD just as a "real" *nix would?
And similarly for the shell.

Have you tried using the "home directory" field of the accounts in Active Directory? By default they aren't set to anything and the behavior of Interix 3.5 was not entirely satisfactory.

I don't want to use the home directory on the Profile tab, because that path has spaces and in any case varies from machine to machine.
Within each SUA installation I have a symlink /home which points to the Documents and Settings directory for that installation. I therefore want all my SUA home directories to be /home/Username. This is what my Domain Controller is serving up through NIS and what it has in AD, but it's not used by SUA.

It does seem very silly to me that IdM and SFU both add attributes to AD to store Unix attributes but provide no way of using those from SUA.
I understand that not everyone uses a domain, and not everyone using a domain will apply the schema updates, and not everyone applying the schema updates will populate the attributes, but still--if my Unix machines can look at the attributes, surely my Unix-on-Windows environments should do so? Even if it's only a configurable option.

Any ideas on how to achieve this? I can't believe that people are happy with the default of dumping users into / as their home directory.
