As a disclaimer, I am not using samba as a AD member server- although I
am also thinking about how I might make that happen.
I am reading the man page for idmap_ad.
The idmap_ad plugin provides a way for Winbind to read id
mappings from
an AD server that uses RFC2307/SFU schema extensions. This module
implements only the "idmap" API, and is READONLY. Mappings must be
provided in advance by the administrator by adding the
posixAccount/posixGroup classes and relative attribute/value
pairs to
the user and group objects in the AD.
So on closer reading it does suggest it will pick up the unix UID and
unix GID directly from AD. I had confused this earlier with the
idmap_rid backend.
Are you also using autofs for your unix clients?

Is there any way around this? Perhaps Windows Services for Unix? Will
Samba read the Unix UID from SFU if it's installed??? I _HAVE_ to get the
UID's to match.
Not all my Windows users use Unix, but, ALL my Unix users use Windows ---
and the Windows users also need access to all the files.
Without getting the UID's to match up, I don't see how I'm going to make
this work... Unless, I'm thinking shortsighted and there is other info I'm
unaware of?
