[Samba] Creating samba4/AD users from ADUC

We have a couple Samba4 AD domains we've implemented and I've noticed a
difference between how users look when created via ADUC versus samba-tool.

Created via ADUC, the following extra attributes are added:
msSFU30Name: bilbo
msSFU30NisDomain: netdirect
unixHomeDirectory: /home/bilbo
unixUserPassword: ABCD!efgh12345$67890

Created via samba-tool, the following extra attributes are added:
objectClass: posixAccount
uid: bilbo

(hey, why can't I tell samba-tool to give the user a unixHomeDirectory :( )

In my ldap.conf, I'm using:
nss_map_attribute uid sAMAccountName
nss_map_attribute uniqueMember member
nss_map_attribute homeDirectory unixHomeDirectory
nss_map_attribute gecos displayName
pam_login_attribute sAMAccountName
pam_filter objectclass=posixAccount
pam_password ad

What are people doing for maintaining their Unix accounts in AD? Should
all the unix accounts also have oc posixAccount?

Also, looks like samba-tool isn't adding the msSFU30NisDomain - this
makes the Unix attributes not enabled in ADUC. It should probably add
that, yes?
