It would appear so. I think the console is spoiling me - making me lazy.
On openldap, I would inspect the schema because I could easily locate
it.

This seems important to me but I am not the most knowledgeable about
these things. I would love to have a number of 'default values'
automatically inserted - perhaps that is just a matter of editing the
relevant html pages that govern these things (I called them templates -
perhaps that is an incorrect term).

But I would routinely set default values such as...

sambaProfilePath:     \\Server\Profiles\${USER}
sambaHomePath:        \\SERVER\HOMES\${USER}
sambaHomeDrive:       H
sambaLogonScript:     \\SERVER\netlogon\logon.bat
sambaDomain:          DOMAIN_NAME
sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX-513

perhaps this is beyond the present capabilities of the console
application and I would need to use a different client for purposes of
creating new user accounts.
