Hi Greg,

I must admit, I haven't tried this myself having only just started testing
Samba 4. I have read a few threads like this though -
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2012-August/168907.html which seem to
indicate that some people may have had success going down the scripting
route.

YMMV.

Cheers,

Chris
