Hi Nick
We just wrote a quick script add users and setup some sensible defaults:

In this example:
Our unixHomeDirectory is under /home2 and we gave the Domain Users group 
a gidNumber of 20513
Or DC is called hh3.

samba-tool user add $1
echo Updating directory with uid $uid
sleep 1
echo "dn: cn=$1,cn=Users,dc=hh3,dc=site
changetype: modify
add: objectClass
objectClass: posixAccount
-
add: uidNumber
uidNumber: $uid
-
add: gidNumber
gidNumber: 20513
-
add: unixHomeDirectory
unixHomeDirectory: /home2/$2/$1
-
add: loginShell
loginShell: /bin/bash
-
add: profilePath
profilePath: \\\\hh30\\profiles\\$1
-
add: homeDirectory
homeDirectory: \\\\hh30\\$2\\$1
-
add: homeDrive
homeDrive: Z:" > /tmp/$1
ldbmodify --url=/usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb /tmp/$1

We also have a full script called s4bind which does everything for users 
and groups for you without ever touching a windows box:
