Did an short test if proper posix uid/gid mapping is required for sysvol 
to work.
Since vfs_acl_xattr is in use samba is said to keep the posix acl's in 
sync with the acl's stored in the security.NTACL xattr object. 
(https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages/vfs_acl_xattr.8.html)
If i sync from an dc with different mappings in idmap.ldb the posix 
acl's seem to have precedence over the xattr values, so they can mess up 
things in an way that some security groups can gain read or ever write 
rights because of the different mappings.
An easy fix is adding
acl_xattr:ignore system acls = Yes
to the sysvol section in smb.conf. Posix ACL's are now ignored and only 
the ACL's from the xattr are used.
