I don't know if it works with the Unix extensions - but I tend to
create a "template" user in the Windows Admin tool and then "copy"
that user when creating a new user. This will copy all the relevant
details from the copied "template" user for the new user. [Right click
on the "template" user - and copy. (I don't think that's the exact text, but I
don't recall exactly what the menu says...)]

This includes things like the default group etc. So, I expect it will
work properly for the Unix extended attribs too. [In any case, it's
simply two minutes to try.]
