The best way to do is to chose correctly UID/GID and how you will manage to
have this UIDF/GID and not others UID/GID.
Two main choices:
- using uidNumber and gidNumber LDAP attributes in AD LDAP tree
- using idmap-rid which relies on Microsoft RID to generate UID/GID.

As you have some historical UID/GID usage, I would chose usage of uidNumber
and gidNumber in which you can set any number you want. As you can chose
what UID/GID you give to every AD object, you will certainly be able to
re-attribute UID/GID which are already in use.
Plus using uidNumber and gidNumber you give same UID or GID to several
different objects.

To be able to use uidNumber and gidNumber in LDAP tree you have several
choices:
- Winbind
- sssd
- nslcd
- certainly others but these 3 should be sufficient for you have what you
want.

Usage of nss_ldap and pam_ldap in old fashion don't use Kerberos...

Winbind is certainly the simpler way to proceed... if you can modify AD
schema (if not already done) to have access to "UNIX attributes" tab in
ADUC (when accessing to user properties).

If no modification of the schema is possible and you have Samba 4 DC you
can avoid modifying the schema adding "idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes" in
smb.conf on your Samba DC. Please note that without modifying the schema
ADUC tool won't work when accessing to "UNIX attributes" tab in user
properties.
If no modification of the schema is possible and you have only Microsoft DC
you will have to use SSSD.
