It has been a long time since I have done this and forgot how. This is the command I am running: sudo /usr/sbin/usermod -G 'dom admins' 'user' but It says unkown group. I know we have done it before but is there a default group in samba that controls domain admins and maybe I am typing it in wrong. I have also tried typing in domain admins in lower and upper case for the group. Any ideas?

you need to find out the name of the group you want to add the user into.
cat /etc/group will print out the names of all the groups that exist.
then do useradd -G groupName userName and the next time the user logs in, they'll be part of the group. -

If you use just "usermod -G groupname username", then it will remove any other supplementary groups that user was a member of. I would recommend using it with the -a (append).
usermod -a -G groupname username
