Look in /usr/share/applications. Copy one of the smaller .desktop files
to "samba-config-tool.desktop" in the same directory, then edit it
appropriately. A new application will appear in the dash, can be dragged
to the launcher bar, to the desktop etc.

I believe you can also add things in ~/.local/share/applications and get
the same effect for just the one user, but I haven't tried that.
