Hi
On the DC, you cannot use winbind to pull the home directory. You can
only get uidNumber and gidNumber. That shouldn't be a problem since your
users will never need to log into the DC. It's nice to have it though.
I'd recommend sssd on anything Linuxy to do the home folder job for you
with the minimum of fuss. The attribute you'd be interested in is
uinixHomeDirectory which is not available via samba-tool on your
version. Add it as and when you create users with ldbmodify.
