On my SAM database I have an CN=samdom,CN=ypservers entry :

# ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb -s base -b
CN=fichnet,CN=ypservers,CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,DC=net,DC=lyc-guillaume-fichet,DC=ac-grenoble,DC=fr
# record 1
dn: CN=fichnet,CN=ypservers,CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,DC=net,DC=lyc-guillaume-fichet,DC=ac-grenoble,DC=fr
objectClass: top
objectClass: msSFU30DomainInfo
cn: fichnet
instanceType: 4

name: fichnet
objectGUID: e1b63980-512f-451b-a2d7-c4abdbb03a3c
objectCategory: CN=msSFU-30-Domain-Info,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=net,DC=l
 yc-guillaume-fichet,DC=ac-grenoble,DC=fr
msSFU30MasterServerName: FICHDC
msSFU30OrderNumber: 10000
msSFU30Domains: fichnet
distinguishedName: CN=fichnet,CN=ypservers,CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=Syste
 m,DC=net,DC=lyc-guillaume-fichet,DC=ac-grenoble,DC=fr

But there is no msSFU30MaxUidNumber and msSFU30MaxGidNumber values.

Do you know if this current entry was created by samba or by some
Windows administration tools ?
Do you know if I need to add a class to add the msSFU30MaxUidNumber
and msSFU30MaxGidNumber values ?
(I don't know how to read schema specification directly inside the database)

Thanks, but I also use the others rfc2307 attributes. Not only
uidNumber and gidNumber. So I need to keep all the rfc2307 values
updated and I can't switch to RID. Moreover, the file system is also
exported by NFSv4 so I need consistant ID on all the
databases/filesystems.

On my Linux clients I use a special script to join the computer to the
domain. So there is no problem setting the host parameters in AD
database. But from Windows client I have no control.

Thank again !
