NT User has nothing to do with samba.

Samba uses SambaSamAccount objectclass - you can look through the schema
and check which attributes apply to samba.

You could make things easier on yourself and go through Samba
documentation...

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs

check out the 'By Example' which pretty much covers everything you would
need to know.
