[Samba] Full list of options when using samba-tool user create

[Mario Pio Russo]

Good Day All

I need the full list of option supported by the command samba-tool create
user.

the online help does not provide them all, in fact I see:

>8

while I am able to use few extra options like the following:

--nis-domain --uid-number --unix-home

in particular I 'd like know if it is possible to populate the field:

"displayName"

at creation time, w/o using an ldappodify after creation .


Thanks!

Thanks Andrey

Unfortunately those flags are at the moment mandatory for our project, so I
am forced to use them.

"net help ads user add"

is a good tool, I'll look into it thanks!

for the moment I have just done a script with an "ldapmodify" at the end
that updates that missing field, and I'll keep this solution for now,

thanks!

Use of these options (especially --uid-number) is highly discouraged, as
they
do not increment the internal counter and essentially break the GUI tools
like
ADUC, leaving the SAM database in a messy state.

net help ads user add
