No you are not, SME is based on Centos, Centos is badge engineered RHEL, 
RHEL does not have a Samba AD DC package. You could have been at this 
point 2 years ago, I know I had a Samba4 AD DC running on Scientific 
Linux nearly 2 years ago (for those who don't know SL is another RHEL 
clone).

Because you are trying to bend S4 to suit SME and everybody else is 
working with it i.e. Zentyal, Univention. It might be an idea to create 
a hook for creating extra user attributes, but this will have to be by 
way of schema extensions and these will have to work with a Windows AD 
server.  There are numerous other things that require the devs time and 
attention, sysvol syncing for instance, but they will get to them, as 
and when they can. We users will just have to wait, we cannot demand 
they do anything, we can suggest, plead etc, but the ball is in their 
court. I personally think that they have done a marvellous job so far 
and cannot applaud them more, so in this instance, put up, or shut up.

This is just my opinion.
