samba - Feb 2021 - Question regarding samba-tool

Hi
I am creating scripts for batch loading of users and groups into Samba AD, but
have a problem with non-existing options. I am still on 4.9.5 (Debian 10).
According to the Wiki, there are options for OU and other attributes that don?t
work for me.
If that is caused by me having a too old Samba, maybe it would be a good idea to
update the Wiki with ?Requires at least version X.X.X? for options that has been
added recently.

samba tool - SambaWiki

root at dc2-hplts:/home/sysman# samba-tool user?create?bengt changePwd0
--surname=Swedin --given-name=Bengt --userou="OU=Konton?
-script-path=netlogon.cmd '--profile-path=\\DC2-HPLTS\profiles\bengt'
--home-drive=U '--home-directory=\\FS1-HPLTS\bengt'
samba-tool: error: no such option: --userou

By recently, do you mean something like 5 minor versions before yours ?

The samba-tool 'OU' commands were added at 4.9.0 , so you should have 
them. What does 'samba-tool user create --help' return ? Does it show 
'--userou=USEROU' ?

If it does try your command like this:

samba-tool user?create?bengt changePwd0 --surname=Swedin 
--given-name=Bengt --userou='OU=Konton' -script-path=netlogon.cmd 
--profile-path='\\DC2-HPLTS\profiles\bengt' --home-drive=U 
--home-directory='\\FS1-HPLTS\bengt'

Just a thought, does the 'Konton' OU exist ?
