Close :-)

userAccountControl is sort of accumulative, a normal enabled user
account will have '512' in it, but there could be a larger number set.
For instance, if the users password is set to never expire it could be
'65848', which is '512' plus '65336'.
To disable a user you add '2' to the '512'.

Ah I understand the 512 + 2 thing.
But the userAccountControl is still 512 after I run `samba-tool user disable`
