[Samba] Failing to get uids from AD

[Nick Triantos]

Thanks Jonathan, but it didn't work for me. I updated my config to look like this:
   security = ADS
   realm = CORP.mycompany.COM
   allow trusted domains = yes
   winbind use default domain = yes
   winbind nested groups = YES
   winbind enum groups = yes
   winbind enum users = yes
   winbind nss info = rfc2307
   winbind refresh tickets = yes
   idmap config CORP : backend = ad
   idmap config CORP : schema_mode = rfc2307
   idmap config CORP : 1000 - 99999
   #idmap config * : backend = tdb
   idmap config * : default = yes
   idmap config * : range = 100000 - 199999

And after restarting smbd and winbindd, my ID came back as 100000 instead of the expected 1001.

Is there some other element missing from my "idmap config CORP" sections to somehow associate it with this specific AD server? Or does the "CORP" identifier suffice?

thanks again!

That said this is now covered in the manual page, but it is vitally important and it won't work properly without it. What I do is specify a small range really high up well out of the way of anything being allocated in the AD for the tdb backend.
