Hi Andrew, could I ask if you have changed your mind? in a post to the 
samba list, you wrote 'if AD isn't adding it using the standard GUI 
tools, we shouldn't require it either. '

See: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2012-December/170661.html

 From this, I take it that if Windows doesn't add the posixAccount & 
posixGroup objectClasses then no Samba tools should either.

Windows will never add either objectClass because they are both 
auxillary classes of user & group respectively. So from my perspective, 
any Unix tool that relies on either of these objectClasses against an AD 
is broken, i.e. relying on posixAccount would not work against a windows 
AD server, so it should not work against a Samba 4 AD server.

Do you agree, and if not, why not?
