I tried it in my test environment (4.1.16 self-compiled) from ADUC on
W8.1: Works without problems. Which account do you use to create the new
user and in which container? The Domain Admin has all required
permissions, of course.


What does the Samba logfile says in the moment you receive the error?
Maybe you have to increase the log level.
