Hello,
I am using Zenytal 7.0 and I have several users. If one of the users logs in on any Win7 client, saves some data to e.g. "downloads", "my files", makes a thunderbird profile etc.etc.,  his changes are seemingly lost when he logs on into another non-win7-client (i.e. win8, win10 clients).

It seems that for the user profiles, Samba is creating a "user.v2" directory for Win7-clients, "user.v5" directory for Win8-clients and "user.v6" directory for Win10 and Win11 clients.

That all means bad luck for the user profile if the same user decides later on to log in to a windows client with a different windows version than the last one.

Is there anything I can do , especially on the Zentyal (samba) server, to make user profiles more functional across different windows versions so we do not have to re-create the profile data every time the user changes to a windows client which is different from the last one?
