[Samba] sysvol replication and posix uid / gid mapping

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

I suggest try my script or if you not on ubuntu/debian read the script and adapt it to your os.
Maybe this works for you with the winbind setup, i dont know but you can try it. 
Im using this now for about 1 month without problems, and i can change GPO settings on any DC now.

Best regards, 

Louis
