samba - Apr 2005 - Help with user/domain Management fm Windows side

Back-end is LDAP.

What are some good techniques for Domain management from the windows
side? I've got usermgr.exe and svrmgr.exe but:

1. I don't know what functions these tools are or are not supposed to be
able to perform on a Samba domain as yet.
2. I can delete users but I cannot seem to add them or modify them.

~From smb.conf:
add user script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-useradd.pl -a -m '%u'

delete user script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-userdel.pl '%u'

add group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-groupadd.pl -p '%g'

delete group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-groupdel.pl '%g'

add user to group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-groupmod.pl
- -m '%u' '%g'

delete user from group script /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-groupmod.pl -x
'%u' '%g'

set primary group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-usermod.pl
- -g '%g' '%u'

add machine script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-useradd.pl -w '%u'

Any help I could get would sure be appreciated.  I've got a big project
coming up that will require this.

You seem to be using a very old version of the smbldap-tools. What version are 
you using?

What version of Samba are you running?

Have you read the "Samba-3 by Example" book? You can download it from:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf

In particular refer to chapter 6.
