Hmm, what version of Samba is this and on what OS ?
Where are you running the command ?

On Debian bullseye with Samba from backports (4.17.10), if I check a
user, I get this:

dn: CN=usertest3,CN=Users,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com
..............
userAccountControl: 512

If I then, on a DC, disable the user with:

adminuser at rpidc1:~ $ sudo samba-tool user disable usertest3

I get no output and when I check again, I find this:

dn: CN=usertest3,CN=Users,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com
..........
userAccountControl: 514

The user is now disabled.
