You do not need to add posixAccount. For recent versions of Samba4:

samba-tool user add stephane --uid-number=3000022 gid-number=20513
home-directory=/some/place lofin-shell=/bin/sh

You only need the hack for old versions of Samba.

We use a Samba 4.0.9 file server for a mix of about 80 xp and LXDE
clients over cifs. It server profiles, home folders and loads of other
rubbish.
