Yep, I'm fairly sure all the ones I posted, are in [global]

Ah, yer... As long as you like NT 4 tools, well at least tools that
appear to come from NT4 ;-)

$ testparm -sv|grep add

        show add printer wizard = Yes
        add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u -G users
        add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g
        add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G %g %u

Not sure about the add share, and addprinter stuff, but the user and
group stuff works. And password changing via windows also works (more
options needed, but the default might work).

For the add/delete/modify user/group stuff, there is some Windows NT 4
style tool, which I don't have access to atm (the only machine I know
that has it, is turned off atm, and I have to login locally as
administrator to get it).
It involves some 'fun'. Firstly, you need to ensure there are no open
smb connections to the server, cause if you have any, then that's the
user perms it'll try and use, and you need to use a user with 'root'
perms I think. So I login as admin on the local box, without any
network connections. Then I open a network share, and login with the
user I want to use, it's been a long time since I did this, so I can't
remember if I need to use root, or my administrator user. I can then
open the application, select the domain I want to work on, and I get
all the users, and groups! I can then edit it!

A quick google gives me this,

, which should get you started!
