Hi everyone, 

Currently using smba 4.1 and I have a question about Samba 4 and
Organizational Units.

I would like to know if it's going to be implemented in samba-tool

Something like:

Samba-tool ou create/del/list

I managed to create an organizational Unit with ldbadd + an ldif file (I
didn't want to use the "click here, click there" method provided by MS
RSAT)

the problem is that I can't create a user inside that OU with: 

samba-tool user create  <user> <password> --userou=Mybrandnewshiningou
-Uadministrator

the result is the following:

ERROR(ldb): Failed to add user 'test': - ldb_add: invalid dn'(null)'

I even attempted (who knows?) : 

samba-tool user create  <user> <password>
--userou=OU=Mybrandnewshiningou,DC=mydomain,DC=lan -Uadministrator

the result is the following:

ERROR(ldb): Failed to add user 'test':  - objectclass: Cannot add
CN=test,OU=Mybrandnewshiningou,DC=mydomain,DC=lan, parent does not
exist!

though 

ldbsearch -H ldap://mydomain.lan '(objectclass=organizationalUnit)'
-Uadministrator

Shows my new OU and samba-tool dbcheck shows no error

could you help me understand please?

thanks a lot for your help. keep up thr good work.
