[Samba] New User NIS Domain & UID

I have created an AD domain controller using the following guide:
wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_a_Samba_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller

I am seeking to setup a domain member using the following guide:
wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_Samba_as_an_AD_Domain_Member

I have opted to use idmap_ad using the following guide:
wiki.samba.org/index.php/Idmap_config_ad

All of the kerberos and DNS tests pass.

On the member server wbinfo -u lists all the users
user1 at jupiter:~$ wbinfo -u
JUPITER\user1
user2
user1
administrator
krbtgt
guest

On the member server wbinfo -g lists all the groups:
user1 at jupiter:~$ wbinfo -g
allowed rodc password replication group
enterprise read-only domain controllers
denied rodc password replication group
read-only domain controllers
group policy creator owners
ras and ias servers
domain controllers
enterprise admins
domain computers
cert publishers
dnsupdateproxy
domain admins
domain guests
schema admins
domain users
dnsadmins

On the member server getent passwd only lists only the users where a unix
id has been set in ADUC.

Does this mean the NIS domain and UID must be set for every user manually
using the following:
wiki.samba.org/index.php/Administer_Unix_Attributes_in_AD_via_ADUC

It appears strange that this is not done when the domain was originally
provisioned.

When creating a new user is there a way to specify a default NIS domain and
have the UID set automatically?
