Nothing, when used with a standalone server, you just do not use them 
with a Unix domain member.

'useradd' creates a Unix user and 'smbpasswd' will make it a Samba user 
on a standalone server, but, in AD, all your users must be in AD and 
Samba maps them from AD users to Unix users via the 'idmap config lines 
you set in the Unix domain members smb.conf
