Ah, you said disable, when you meant 'delete'

You can do this 'samba-tool user delete username'

This will delete the user and the users membership of groups.

i.e.

dn: CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com
......
member: CN=username,CN=Users,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com

Will become:

dn: CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com
.............
member:
CN=username\0ADEL:f2fcc083-f6fa-4878-973f-b2a4f2a043e2,CN=Deleted Object

Then when the tombstone lifetime comes around, the record will
disappear.

This is standard for AD, you cannot totally remove the record in one
move, but for all intents and purposes, the records are deleted.
