Thanks for your input John. I ended up just creating a script that creates both accounts for me at the same time so that solved the issue.

Im going to be migrating a windows file server of about 200+ users to

 to find an answer.  My question is do I really have to create a unix
 account for each user and THEN create the user account again on the
 samba server??  I can't find a way to create a unix account and have
 that account be also automatically created on the samba server.  is
 there a solution for this or do I need to create some kind of custom
 script to do this for me??

With ldap the answer is no (both unix and samba account get created in
the same place).
With other security mechanisms you need samba and unix accounts for each user.
