There you are getting into the LDAP/Kerberos territory or you can use winbind. In theory if you install the UNIX extensions in your AD server you can assign the users uid and gid numbers. last I looked at it you had to do it manually they aren't auto assigned by the AD server.
You should also look at the documentation for sssd as well. It's been a quite a few years since I did this but I think you will have to create a kerberos keytab and Kerberos auth for the host for the CIFS automount to work properly. The other option is to use the NFS server for windows but I don't advise using it on older versions of Windows Server.
