Unfortunately, I know of no tool to (free anyway) to let you do this
from Windows.  I'm not familiar with "nexus's" User Manager. Can you
clue me in on that that is?

As far as LDAP source code - you would use that to write code to talk
to an LDAP server.  Samba TNG is *not* an LDAP server, but is instead
an LDAP client.  You need a separate LDAP directory server, such as
OpenLDAP.

To answer your last question, yes - you can store all the Samba user
and machine trust accounts in the LDAP directory.
