Well yes, but I wanted to show the OP the relation between what the 
uidNumber attribute holds and the range set in smb.conf. If what I 
propose works (and I sure it will), I would have then advised the OP to 
reset Domain Users back to 513, but I would also have pointed out that 
you now cannot have *ANY* local users or groups!

I would also have pointed out that the lowest uid on Debian/Ubuntu, that 
is not a system user, is 1000, so using the range '500-50000' is not a 
good idea.
