[Samba] Problem achieving manual synchronisation of idmap.ldb and the associated User and Group ID mappings between two Samba 4 AD DCs

Cheers Louis, i just ran the diagnostic snippet you sent me:

pi at ad1:/var/lib/samba/private $ sudo ls -al $(samba -b | grep STATEDIR | 
awk {' print $NF '})/sysvol
total 20
drwxrwx---+ 3 root 3000000 4096 Mar 25 16:36 .
drwxr-xr-x  8 root root    4096 Mar 25 17:31 ..
drwxrwx---+ 4 root 3000000 4096 Mar 25 16:36 samdom.example.com

pi at ad2:/var/lib/samba/private $ sudo ls -al $(samba -b | grep STATEDIR | 
awk {' print $NF '})/sysvol
total 20
drwxrwx---+ 3 root 3000000 4096 Mar 26 10:55 .

drwxr-xr-x  8 root root    4096 Mar 26 10:55 ..

drwxrwx---+ 3 root 3000000 4096 Mar 25 16:42 samdom.example.com

Im guessing the empty folders here suggests that I have not synced SysVol?

Cheers
Stephen
