Hello,

I am trying to use samba-tool to create OU on active directory.

1. Joined to domain.
# net ads join -U <>

2. Listed GPO's on domain to check samba-tool script can pull the GPOs.
# samba-tool gpo listall
GPO          : <>
display name : test-Computers-GPO-1
path         : \\atest.com\SysVol\atest.com\Policies\<>
dn           : <>,CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=atest,DC=com
version      : 65536
flags        : NONE

GPO          : <>
display name : empty-gpo-from-samba-tool
path         : \\atest.com\sysvol\atest.com\Policies\<>
dn           : CN=<>,CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=atest,DC=com
version      : 0
flags        : NONE

GPO          : <>
display name : Default Domain Policy
path         : \\atest.com\sysvol\atest.com\Policies\<>
dn           : CN=<>,CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=atest,DC=com

flags        : NONE

GPO          : <>
display name : smart-card-gpo
path         : \\atest.com\SysVol\atest.com\Policies\<>
dn           : CN=<>,CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=atest,DC=com
version      : <>
flags        : NONE

GPO          : <>
display name : Default Domain Controllers Policy

dn           : CN=<>,CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=atest,DC=com
version      : 2
flags        : NONE

3. Tried creating OU on Active Directory.

    self.connect(url, flags, options)

Any pointers?
