Not really, theres nothing wrong with that. If you use the "User 
Manager" windows application, the posix account is created and samba 
creates the rest. If you are using the shell, then yes, -a is needed 
(but typing it IN THE SHELL not inside smb.conf). You can consult the 
samba documentation or idealx documentation about setting those options.

The difference is that with "-a" you will receive an error, but the user 
will be created anyway.

Same thing. And I dont know what "-m" means to smbldap-groupadd script.
