[Samba] Consistent UID/GID mappings?

[Alexandre Beauclair]

Thanks a lot! 
It worked perfectly to set the Primary GID.
That's one down and I feel I'm finally getting somehwere. Now for the Home Directory attribute, we need them to point to /home/users/DOMAIN/username. The member machine has no trouble reading it from the UNIX attributes, but it doesn't seem to be able to from the Samba4 Server. It keeps pointing to /home/DOMAIN/username, which I believe is the default for Samba4. Is there some place else I have to configure it? Looking at my previous problems, I'm beginning to think I'm just not looking at the right place to configure these...

However, still in ADUC, if I go to the UNIX Attribute tab of the testgroup object and add a member there, it doesn't work. At least there's a way that works for me to add a member to a group, but I'm wondering why it's not being picked up.

Hi
Set the primary group under the Member of tab, not the Unix tab.
