[Samba] Samba 4 two DCs no matching UID/GID

At the moment numbers start at 3000000 and counting. In my eyes it would make sense, that these number be stored in the AD when provisioned with rfc2307. Or it should be replicated by drs.
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Using_RFC2307_on_a_Samba_DC#Configuring_RFC2307_and_NIS_Extensions_in_a_Samba_AD
says the following:
No need for manual ID counting when using the default Microsoft tools. E. g. the next free UID and GID is stored directly in Active Directory and will be incremented when creating a new user or group.
But what is needed for this? Manual setting of NIS domain in Unix attributes?
The problem chapter describes my situation - but both DC have set idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
I forgot to say that my server is CentOS 7 with most recent SerNet Samba 4.1.13
