When you say 'domain', do you mean the dns domain ? because that isn't a 
valid dns domain, also, when you say netbios domain, do you mean the 
netbios domain name or the the netbios name aka the short hostname in 
capitals.

  I would like the user dirs on linux to be created as

Looks like you mean the computers name in capitals, in which case '%h' 
might be what you are looking for, but I think this will be in lowercase.

'%D' is always the netbios domain name (aka workgroup) in capitals.
