Other machines on my network do not have this issue. Even one almost identical. It's a mirror on the other end of a VPN. It doesn't seem to need "winbind use rpc only = yes" OpenLDAP had a size limit on lookups. Is there such a thing in the SAMBA 4 ldap backend?

Yes. It forces winbindd to only use the DCE-RPC
calls to the AD-DC instead of the LDAP calls.

You should not need this.
