I'm working on openldap proxy to AD, gidnumber is assigned for Linux client, by the AD admin. I saw groupofnames objectclass actually only in openldap. I tried it blindly without thinking both sides and the mapping in between first. What you said is true.

Furthermore - are you shure you want to search for groupofnames and not posixgroup? Group ID numbers are usually used with POSIX groups and since both posixgroup and groupoufnames are structural groups they can't mix. It's actually pretty unlikely that your server holds groupofnames with a numeric group id.
