thanks - yes the getfacl basically now agrees with what I see from a Windows client on the Security tab.

That explains it.   But having set UID on users in AD the member server now displays it correctly eg
root at debian-m1:~# wbinfo -n test1
S-1-5-21-477877664-3821138561-3089784001-1113 SID_USER (1)
root at debian-m1:~# wbinfo -S=S-1-5-21-477877664-3821138561-3089784001-1113
10003

the same commandson the DC gives:
root at debian-dc1:~# wbinfo -n test1
S-1-5-21-477877664-3821138561-3089784001-1113 SID_USER (1)
root at debian-dc1:~# wbinfo -S S-1-5-21-477877664-3821138561-3089784001-1113
3000049

So why is the DC ignoring the UID set in AD?   Does it matter?

When you create a user in ADUC and allocate a drive letter to the share on the Profile tab, ADUC automatically tries to create the
folder and set the correct permissions.   Which presumably is why the share itself needs to be set up with the correct permssions to
allow this to happen?

Thanks - so this can safely be ignored...

Many thanks for your help.
