Hi, I wonder if it is trying to connect to an AD DC on the machine that 
dsadd is running on instead of the samba4 AD DC ? is there a setting to 
specify which DC to connect to ?

Otherwise investigate building a bash script around samba-tool on the 
samba4 server, 'samba-tool user add --help' will show you what you can 
use when adding a new user.
