Setup as domain controller

samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 --interactive --use-xattrs=yes

Argument Explanations

--use-rfc2307
    this argument adds POSIX attributes (UID/GID) to the AD Schema. This will be necessary if you intend to authenticate Linux, BSD, or OS X clients (including the local machine) in addition to Microsoft Windows. 

--use-xattrs=yes
    this argument enables the use of unix extended attributes (ACLs) for files hosted on this server. If you intend not have file shares on the domain controller, you can omit this switch (but this is not recommended). You should also ensure that any filesystems that will host Samba shares are mounted with support for ACLs. 

--interactive
    this parameter forces the provision script to run interactively. Alternately, you can review the help for the provision step by running samba-tool domain provision --help
