Exactly! When you un-join the domain does the windows client send any CIFS 
commands to the domain controller to remove the account? If not, then having 
an interface script will not do a single bit of good.

In my experience, detachinf from a domain is a local-only operation; no 
commands are sent to the domain controllers. So if you want this 
functionality you will first have to convince Microsoft to implement it.
