possibly, but I think it might still be a patching problem 🙁

The script produces an ldif, which then gets patched to suit Samba, but 
if you have altered either (or both), then the patch will not match what 
it is trying to patch (wrong line numbers). If this is the case, then it 
might just be easier to manually create the ldifs from Schema-updates, 
then manually patch the required ldifs using the *.diff files, remove 
the attributes & objectclasses already in AD, then add the ldifs one by 
one with ldbmodify.
