Just a quick question on implementation. I've got this working now and
would like to have users I create be able to use the @domain.com rather
than the default UPN. I get that there is no way to do this on first
creation but I was looking at the --upn function of the rename option but
can't seem to get it right. First off, is that the correct option to add
the alternate suffix and if so, what's the syntax because samba-tool user
rename $username --upn=domain.com doesn't work.
