[Samba] Consistent UID/GID mappings?

[Alexandre Beauclair]

Hi Rowland,

Actually I meant for any share.
Let's say a Windows user (test15) goes to the \\samba-master\documents\ samba share, then creates a file in it on Windows, on the Unix side of things, it shows the owner and group as a different user than the on that's connected to Windows (it shows the owner as 3000044 rather than test15). I believe Windows gets the user ID and associates it with its SID right? But what I need is for both Windows and Linux to see the same attributes, so that the user test15 has the same UID wether he logs in on Windows or Linux. Is there a way to make this work, so that on Windows it sees the test15 user and associates it with its correct UID (which has been set in ADUC as 23192)?
The only thing I'm trying to get working right now is to make sure a user has the same UID everywhere it goes, be it on Linux or Windows.

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...

I take it you are referring to a users home directory, if so, have a
