[Samba] Samba4.6 - Groups creation/import fails

[Arnaud FLORENT]

hello

another object (not a group) ie user / computer with the name mygroup 
can also exist and prevent group creation...

see

      Prevent failure due to common user/group names

If you have any usernames that are the same as a groupname, you will 
have to rename one of them. Otherwise the provisioning will fail 
(„ProvisioningError: Please remove common user/group names before 
upgrade.“). Also, if you have unique groups that, for whatever 
historical reason, share the same displayName, they will have to be 
edited so that all the displayNames are different.
