Hi, I think your problem is that idmap.ldb does not replicate to the new 
DC, this means that users get different UID's on the two DC's.

If you run:

ldbedit -e nano -H /var/lib/samba/private/idmap.ldb

on each DC, you will be able to see the differences.

The cure ? copy idmap.ldb from the first DC to any secondary DC's after 
the join.

It is documented here: 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Join_a_domain_as_a_DC , near the bottom 
of the page.
