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

I understood what have explained. All is fine so far.
For my environment I need these ids to be stored to the directory (except for built-in groups) due to file services and today I found a way to write the ids to the directory. I only have Windows client so that other rfc2307 information's like shell etc will not really matter.
But ids are important for setting right acls in the filesystem.
Advantage of my solution will be that no Unix attributes have to be set in ADUC.
If you are interested I will post it when I'm finished.
