You can set the magic setting 'idmap_ldb:use rfc2307=yes' in the
smb.conf, what you won't get is the NIS server objects that allows ADUC
to display the uidNumber and gidNumber.

I've seen reference to a windows tool to turn on a NIS server, perhaps
it works remotly against Samba.  Otherwise, I asked a user on IRC to
consider plumbing in the code that adds these objects (a python
function) into a new 'samba-tool domain enablerfc2307' (or similar)
command.  I've not heard any progress yet however.
