Do you have the Unix attributes tabs ? Or to put it another way, are you
using Windows 10 which does not have them ?
Whilst Samba still has the ldap framework that the Unix Attributes tab
relies on (Microsoft called it IDMU), Windows 10 no longer uses (or
provides) IDMU.
You can use samba-tool to create users and groups with RFC2307, but you
will have to maintain the next Unix ID yourself. This is also ADMan, see
