Hi, what I am trying to get across is, for adding a unix user, 
samba-tool does not work in the same way as ADUC does.

If you have the attribute 'msSFU30MaxUidNumber' in 
'CN=example,CN=ypservers,CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,DC=example,DC=com' 
then ADUC will get the uidNumber automatically, if you use samba-tool, 
you have to supply the uidNumber, ADUC also adds the following attributes:
uid, msSFU30Name, msSFU30NisDomain, uidNumber, gidNumber, 
unixHomeDirectory, loginShell, unixUserPassword

I know that I can do what ADUC does with a bash script and ldif's, but I 
do not know anything about python to alter samba-tool, but I do believe 
that samba-tool should, when it comes to creating a unix user, work the 
same as ADUC
