You don't need to do that, there are a couple of attributes (which you
will probably not have) which will store the next uid & gidNumber.
these are 'msSFU30MaxUidNumber' & 'msSFU30MaxGidNumber' and they
should/can be here:
dn:
CN=samdom,CN=ypservers,CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com
