Hi Stuart, The thing is, you do not create OU's very often and it is 
usually when creating new users or groups and in this case, samba-tool 
will create the OU whilst creating the new user or group (if the OU does 
not already exist), if you need to create a OU for something else, then 
create an LDIF, just like LDAP and then add it with ldbmodify.
