Yes, what is the rest??? All necessary info should come frome winbind
(winbindd_idmap.tdb).

Before the update it was working correctly over years with that config:

[global]

workgroup  = ATRON
 realm = ATRON.LOCAL
security = ADS
 preferred master = no
server string  = %h
 log file  = /var/log/samba/smb.log.%m
winbind enum users = Yes
 winbind enum groups = Yes
winbind use default domain = Yes
 winbind separator = +
idmap uid = 10000-20000
 idmap gid = 10000-20000
template shell = /bin/bash
 username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
