[Samba] userou= question

[Robert Wooden]

All is going well with samba-tool create [user] except for userou=USEROU.

In ADUC. My domain users ou are "down in the tree" further than the default
OU (used in samba-tool create [user] command.)

Like so:
      ad.example.com (domain name)
           |>> Users   (default location "user create" puts entry)
           |>> CompanyName
                 |>> Mmbr-folder-redirection  (the ou I'd like to have
"user create" place new user entry)

I have tried "userou='Mmbr-folder-redirection'" and it fails with:

> root at dc1:~# samba-tool user create jean25 --given-name=Jean --initials=25
> --surname=Samba --uid-number=18700 --gid-number=10000 --profile-path=\\\\

I have tried "userou='Mmbr-folder-redirection,OU='CompanyName'" and it
fails with:

 I tried reversing the order "
*OU=CompanyName,OU=DmnMmbrs-folder-redirection*" in the create string and
got the same failure.

How is "userou=" intended to be configured?
